1971 Map of Waterloo

About this map

Lake Greenwood dominates the landscape of this 1970s survey, marking the confluence where the Reedy River and Saluda River meet at a point known as The Forks. The map documents a period of established lakeside development alongside older agrarian and industrial footprints, such as Laurel Mill and the Seaboard Coast Line railroad which cuts through Waterloo. Small rural communities and crossroads like Harris Springs and Coronaca are detailed with their essential local institutions, including Smyrna Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Good Hope Ch. This record is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of numerous family-named landmarks and burial grounds like Franklin Cem and Bethlehem Cem before further modern residential expansion along the irregular shoreline.
