About this postcard

A view across the still water of Lake Greenwood toward a low, tree-covered point nicknamed "Buzzard Roost," its wooded shoreline mirrored in the blue surface. Lake Greenwood is a reservoir on the Saluda River in Greenwood County, South Carolina, created in the early 1940s by the Buzzard's Roost Dam built by the Buzzard Roost Hydroelectric Project; the lake became a popular regional recreation area. The card's linen-era styling dates it to roughly the 1940s–1950s.
