2011 Map of Boiling Springs South

About this map

The Broad River serves as the primary geographical divider for this region of Cleveland County at the start of the 21st century, with the landscape dotted by family-named landmarks and long-established burial grounds. Notable topographic features such as Jolly Mountain and Abes Mountain rise above the surrounding terrain, while water management is evident at Mount Pleasant Fishing Lake Dam and Houser Dam. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of local family names, preserved in sites like Lavonia Cemetery, Ellis Cemetery, and Huskins Cemetery. The small community of Maud sits in the southwestern corner, anchored by the Cherokee Creek Cemetery. Religious and community life is centered around local institutions like Mount Pleasant Church and the large Cleveland Memorial Park to the north, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the North Carolina-South Carolina borderlands.
