About this map

Lake Greenwood dominates this landscape, its sprawling fingers and inlets defining the geography of the South Carolina backcountry. The lake was formed by the damming of the Saluda River and the Reedy River, and this map captures the intricate shoreline where these waters meet. Along the northern reaches, the town of Waterloo serves as a central hub for the surrounding rural communities, while the settlement of Coronaca anchors the southwestern corner.

Evidence of the area's agricultural and industrial heritage is visible through features like Boyds Mill and Boyds Bridge. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are documented, including Smyrna Cemetery, Franklin Cemetery, and Bethlehem Cemetery. The growth of residential lakeside developments is evident in the naming of communities such as Collins Lakeside Village, Isle of Pines, and Pine Land Shores, illustrating the transition of the river valleys into a modern recreation-focused region.
