1947 Map of Table Rock

About this map

Table Rock State Park and the adjacent Table Rock Reservoir dominate this 1946 field-examined landscape along the North Carolina and South Carolina border. The terrain is defined by the Blue Ridge Divide and prominent peaks like Pinnacle Mtn, Table Rock, and The Stool. Outside the park boundaries, a rural network of small communities and schools reflects the mid-century agricultural character of Pickens and Greenville counties. Local life centers around places like Pumpkintown, while small educational and religious landmarks such as Rock School, Saluda Hill Church, and Soapstone Church are scattered through the valleys. The map also documents significant hydrological features, including the South Saluda River and the dramatic Raven Cliff Falls, as well as the family-named Cassell Cemeteries located near the headwaters of the East Fork French Broad River.
