1961 Map of Sunset

About this map

Eastatoe Creek and the Oolenoy River carve through the Blue Ridge foothills of Pickens County in this 1961 field-checked survey. The landscape is defined by its deep mountain coves and named ridges, including Wadakoe Mountain and Horse Gap Mountain. Small upland settlements like Sunset and Nine Times serve as focal points for the rural community, which is tightly clustered around local institutions. Numerous country churches and schools are scattered throughout the valleys, such as Holly Springs Ch, Antioch Ch, and the Lewis Sch.
