1928 Map of Warrenville

About this map

Horse Creek and its tributaries form the industrial and social backbone of this South Carolina landscape during the 1920s. The concentration of textile-related settlements like Graniteville, Vaucluse, and Warrenville follow the watercourse, where mill culture and residential growth were firmly established. This survey provides an exceptional view of the early 20th-century educational and religious network, capturing locations for Bettis Academy, North Augusta Academy, and rural institutions such as Gardnersville Sch and Science Hill Ch. Further south, the map illustrates the development of North Augusta and Belvedere near the Savannah River, while long-established routes like Plank Road and Edgefield Road connect the inland farms and orchards. The presence of the Southern Railway through Langley and Bath highlights the region's reliance on rail transport for both passengers and the moving of textile goods during this era.
