1971 Map of Blacksburg South

About this map

The Broad River serves as the central artery for this South Carolina landscape, carving a path through the rolling terrain between the industrial edges of Gaffney and the town of Blacksburg. In the early 1970s, the river environment is marked by significant features like Goat Island and the complex waters of Ninety-nine Islands. To the east, the village of Cherokee Falls sits near the riverbank, while the upland areas are defined by local landmarks such as Silver Mine Ridge and Draytonville Mtn, the latter topped with a lookout tower.
