2020 Map of Blacksburg South

About this map

The Broad River carves a deep path through Cherokee County, separating the industrial and residential centers of Blacksburg and Gaffney. This river corridor is defined by complex hydrology, featuring The Rapids and the distinctive Ninetynine Islands downstream from Goat Island. Near the settlement of Cherokee Falls, the terrain rises toward Silver Mine Ridge, hinting at the mineral history of the region. The map captures a landscape where industry and heritage meet, shown by the Southern railroad lines and several long-standing community centers. Local history is anchored by several sites of worship and rest, including the Little Memorial Baptist Church and Galilee Baptist Church, alongside numerous family and community burial grounds such as Mountain View Cem and Lipscomb Cem. From the heights of Draytonville Mtn to the quiet stretches of Canoe Cr, the area's geography reflects a deeply rooted South Carolina Piedmont community.
