2014 Map of Blacksburg South

About this map

The Broad River defines the central topography of this Cherokee County region, winding past Goat Island and through the complex of Ninetynine Islands before reaching Cherokee Falls. The landscape is a mix of small settlements and named ridges, with Blacksburg situated in the northeast and neighborhoods like Maplewood, Crestmont, and East Gaffney clustered along the western edge. This 2014 survey documents a territory where modern infrastructure, such as the Speedway Rd and Frontage Rd, intersects with older local landmarks. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including Ross Cem, Lipscomb Cem, and Mtn View Cem. The terrain rises significantly at Draytonville Mtn and Mckowns Mtn, overlooking a network of creeks like Buffalo Creek and Canoe Cr that feed into the river system.
