About this map

Horse Creek and its industrial corridor form the heart of this landscape, connecting a series of textile and mill towns including Graniteville, Vaucluse, and Warrenville. Surveyed in the years following World War I, the map captures the transition from the North Augusta area toward the rural highlands of Edgefield and Aiken counties. The density of community institutions is striking, anchored by Bettis Academy and a network of rural schoolhouses like Gardnerville Sch and Jacksonville Sch.

Old travel routes such as the Five Notch Road and Plank Road crisscross the terrain, reflecting a history of overland transport that predated the Southern Railway. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific family and community landmarks, from Hammond Grove Ch in the south to Horn Creek Ch and Young Springfield Ch further north, documenting the social fabric of the South Carolina Piedmont during the late 1920s.
