1946 Map of Table Rock

About this map

The Blue Ridge Divide separates the upper reaches of the Saluda River and the Oolenoy River drainage in this detailed look at the South Carolina and North Carolina borderlands. Originally field-checked by the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1946, the landscape is dominated by the massive granite features of Table Rock and The Stool, alongside the prominent Table Rock Reservoir. The map illustrates a rural community anchored by local institutions like New Town Sch, Rock Sch, and Saluda Hill Ch. Significant elevation changes are marked by Pinnacle Mtn and Raven Cliff Falls, while the lower elevations near Pumpkintown show the progression of local roadways including the early stages of the Foothills Scenic Parkway. This survey preserves the locations of generational landmarks like Cassell Cems and the clustered residences at Mountain Lake Colony.
