About this map

Trenton and the surrounding rural communities of Edgefield Co and Aiken Co are documented here during a period of transition in the mid-1960s, with updates into the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the Southern railroad corridor and the enduring paths of the Plank Road and Old Plank Road. Educational and spiritual centers like Bettis Academy, Douglas Sch, and Ebenezer Ch serve as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing local family roots.

The presence of the Taylor Tree Nursery (State Forest) and scattered Claypit sites highlights the region's reliance on timber and natural resources. Water features like Harrison Pond and Simons Lake drain into the complex network of Horse Creek, while the Trenton Younce Field and a nearby Landing Strip suggest the emergence of local aviation alongside traditional agricultural life in the Red Hill area.
