About this map

The Table Rock Reservoir dominates the landscape of this region along the border of North and South Carolina, serving as a central catchment for numerous mountain streams like Slicking Creek and Matthews Creek. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and geological features, including the iconic granite dome of Table Rock and the nearby The Stool, alongside Caesars Head Mountain to the northeast. Human settlement is concentrated in the lower elevations to the south and east, where small communities such as Pumpkintown, Lakemont, and Liberia are located.

Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial sites, including Saluda Hill Cemetery near the Middle Saluda River and the Cassell Cemetery situated near Big Branch. The presence of Douthett Ford and the Table Rock Bridge highlights the historical importance of river crossings in this mountainous area. The map also documents several hydroelectric or water management structures, such as the Lawton Lake Dam D-2825 and the Methodist Pond Dam D-0044.
