About this map

Westminster and Walhalla anchor this corner of Oconee County, showing a landscape shaped by water management and transit. The Norfolk Southern railroad cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle, passing through the settlements of Jason, Westminster, and Richland. This infrastructure mirrors the modern drainage patterns created by the Coneross Watershed 9-A Reservoir and Coneross Watershed 9-I Reservoir, which regulate the flow of Coneross Cr across the central plains.

Genealogical interest is found in the many rural burial grounds, including Flat Rock Cem, Coneross Cem, and Poplar Springs Cem. To the north, the terrain transitions toward the edges of Lake Keowee, while small historical hubs like Five Points, Brock, and Retreat remain distinct. Local landmarks like Anna's Airport and Johns Mill provide specific points of reference for those tracing the development of this South Carolina Piedmont region.
