2020 Map of Whitmire North

About this map

Sumter National Forest defines the wooded landscape north of Whitmire, where the terrain is carved by the Tyger River and Enoree River. This 2020 map documents the rural character of the Union and Newberry county line, highlighting small communities such as Delta, Goshen Hill, and Thorp Bridge. The area is particularly rich in family-named historical sites, including the Otterson Fort Cem, Briggs Cem, and Fant Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Waterways are a central feature of the region, noted by the Tyger River Canoe Trail and the Enoree River Canoe Trail. These rivers, along with smaller tributaries like Fairforest Creek and Tinker Creek, emphasize the enduring reliance on the river-and-creek network that has shaped local settlement and recreation for generations.
