About this map

Lake Greenwood dominates the southern half of this landscape, its intricate fingers reaching into both Laurens and Greenwood counties. The settlement of Waterloo sits north of the water, positioned along the central transit corridor that links the rural uplands to the growing residential areas around Lake Shores and Lota. The map reveals a transition from traditional agricultural and timber lands to modern lakeside development, while still preserving older landmarks such as Boyds Bridge and Ridgewood Air.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the distribution of family-named roads and burial grounds, including Smyrna Cem and Franklin Cem near Harris Springs. To the east, Cross Hill remains a key junction point, while the southern boundary includes the northern edge of Greenwood and the community of Coronaca. Waterways like Rabon Creek and Cane Cr feed into the reservoir, defining the drainage patterns that shaped the area's earliest roads.
