2011 Map of Trenton

About this map

Trenton anchors the northern portion of this South Carolina landscape, surrounded by a complex network of small water bodies and rural crossings. The area around Pine House Crossroads and Rotalata reveals a region defined by agricultural history and local family legacy, evidenced by numerous named cemeteries such as Wicker, Nicholson, and Fields. The terrain is characterized by the headwaters of Horse Creek and its many tributaries, which are punctuated by small dams and private reservoirs like Harrison Pond and Simons Lake. Aviation infrastructure also marks the landscape, with both the Edgefield County Airport and the smaller Twin Lakes Airport serving the area. This 2011 documentation captures the transition between organized settlements like Eureka and Sunny Brook and the wooded drainage basins of Shaw Creek and Beaverdam Branch.
