About this map

The Tyger River and Enoree River converge in this part of Newberry County, defining a landscape of river bends and traditional rural settlements. Whitmire serves as the primary hub in the southwest, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small communities like Goshen Hill, Delta, and Sartor Town. The map is particularly dense with genealogical markers, including the Otterson Fort Cemetery and Cane Creek Cemetery, alongside family-named landmarks such as Hamiltons Ford and Thorp Bridge.

Elevated points are marked by the Whitmire Lookout Tower, providing a strategic view over the dense network of tributaries including Padgetts Creek and Swift Run. The presence of the Beattys Bridge Hunt Camp and White Oak Hunt Camp reflects the region's long-standing connection to the land and outdoor recreation. Researchers will find a preserved layout of old river crossings and rural roads like Old US Hwy 176 that have shaped the local geography for generations.
