About this map

Standingstone Mountain anchors the high terrain of the Blue Ridge along the border of North Carolina and South Carolina in the mid-1940s. This survey, conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority and published by the Geological Survey, captures a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and numerous water features. The area is marked by several rural congregations, including Friendship church and Holly Springs Ch, alongside established institutional sites like Reasonover Camp and Camp Greenville Ch.

Water plays a central role in the geography of this quadrangle, with the Little River and Green River carving through the mountains to create distinctive landmarks such as Hooker Falls, Triple Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. The mapping of small family-named sites, such as Thomas Cem and Vardry McBee Rock, provides valuable data for genealogists tracking early settlement patterns in this part of Henderson and Greenville Counties.
