About this postcard

A quiet view across Lake Greenwood toward a low, tree-covered point known as Buzzard Roost, with the wooded shoreline reflected in the water. The lake is a reservoir on the Saluda River in Greenwood County, formed in the early 1940s by Buzzard's Roost Dam, and it became a popular regional spot for boating, fishing, and summer recreation.
