About this map

Stumphouse Mtn Tunnel and the nearby Isaqueena Falls anchor the rugged western topography of this Oconee County survey. The landscape transitions from the protected timberlands of the Sumter National Forest and Oconee State Park into the established street grids of Walhalla and West Union. Local industry and commerce are marked by the Norfolk Southern Railway corridor and the historical site at Oconee Station.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural landmarks, including Burns Mill and numerous country churches such as Bethel Ch and Ebenezer Ch. The map also preserves the locations of several family and community burial grounds, including the Mtn Spring Cem and Flat Shoals Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns along the Little River and Coneross Creek before later developments reached the foothills.
