About this map

Sunset serves as a central point in this Pickens County landscape, situated where the Little Eastatoe Creek meets the local road network. The area is defined by its significant relief, with numerous summits such as Wadakoe Mountain, McGullion Mountain, and Turkey Cock Mountain framing the narrow valleys. Small settlements like Nimmons and Nine Times are nestled along the watercourses, reflecting a pattern of habitation closely tied to the region's topography and hydrology.

Genealogists and local researchers will find a wealth of burial sites including Friendship Cemetery, Antioch Cemetery, and Holly Springs Cemetery. The southwestern portion of the map shows the reaching fingers of Lake Keowee, while the Woodall Lookout Tower stands atop Woodall Mountain, marking a high point for fire observation. The intricate network of branches and creeks, such as Eastatoe Creek and Crow Creek, highlights the watershed that drains toward the larger reservoirs.
