About this map

Sumter National Forest dominates the landscape south of Whitmire, where the boundary between Union and Newberry counties follows the winding course of Duncan Creek. The Enoree River defines the eastern portion of this territory, featuring the notable Horseshoe Bend and the Enoree River Canoe Trail (Water), which passes the landmark Brazzelmans Bridge. This area is characterized by a dense network of creek systems including Indian Creek, Gilders Creek, and Kings Creek.

Genealogists will find significant local history at New Hope Cemetery and Kings Creek Cemetery, both situated along the rural road network. The map preserves the legacy of older transportation routes, such as the Old Whitmire Highway, which run alongside more recent developments like Mollys Rock Road and Brazelmans Bridge Road, illustrating the evolution of South Carolina's Piedmont access points.
