About this map

Standingstone Mountain towers over a landscape defined by the drainage divide between the Green River and the Middle Saluda River, marking the sharp boundary between North Carolina and South Carolina. In the mid-1940s, this area of Henderson Co and Transylvania Co was a network of high-elevation camps and remote institutional landmarks. Notable features include Reasonover Camp and Camp Greenville, alongside the Cleveland Fish Hatchery near the southern border.

Waterfall locations like Triple Falls, High Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls punctuate the Little River in the west, while the settlement at Buck Forest and The Flatwoods suggest the established rural communities of the era. The presence of numerous churches, such as Friendship Ch and Holly Springs Ch, and the isolated Thomas Cem provide essential data for family historians tracing the inhabitants of these mountain ridges and coves.
