2014 Map of Sunset

About this map

Nimmons and Sunset anchor the northern landscape of Pickens County, where the Blue Ridge foothills begin their ascent toward Sharp Top Mtn. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain peaks and ridges, including Piney Mtn, Dug Mtn, and the distinctive Rocky Bald Mtn. To the south, the waters of Lake Keowee and Keowee Lake reach into the map, illustrating the influence of hydroelectric development on the local topography. This area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, such as Martins Grove Cem, Friendship Cem, and Shady Grove Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local lineage. The Cherokee Foothills Scenic Hwy winds through the center of the map, following the contours between peaks like Pink Mtn and Big Rock Mtn, connecting these isolated settlements with the broader region.
