2017 Map of Verdery

About this map

Sumter National Forest dominates this landscape across the intersection of Greenwood, Abbeville, and McCormick counties, preserving a complex network of equestrian and off-highway vehicle trails. Named paths like the Long Cane Horse Trail S LP and Parson's Mountain OHV Trail loop through the wooded hills near Parsons Mtn. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed with family-named burial sites, including the Lyon-Lipford Cem, Chisholm Cem, and Mount Sinai Cem. Small settlements and landmarks such as Bradley, Verdery, and Clatworthy Crossroads dot the perimeter of the federal lands, while the interior is defined by numerous watercourses like Long Cane Creek and Little Persimmon Br. This modern survey illustrates the enduring balance between managed timberlands, recreational trail systems, and the historic rural communities that border the forest boundary.
