2016 Map of Boiling Springs South

About this map

Gardner-Webb Univ and the town of Boiling Springs occupy the northern heights of this landscape, where the terrain drops south toward the Broad River and the state line. This boundary between North and South Carolina divides the map, separating Cleveland County from Cherokee County. The area is defined by its deep genealogical roots, evidenced by dozens of family and community burial grounds such as Camps Creek Cem, Lavonia Cem, and Sarratt Cem. To the south, Grassy Pond and the Gaffney Airport anchor a rural region transition into the industrial history of Furnace Place. The river itself creates a winding corridor between Abes Mtn and Jolly Mtn, while tributaries like Beaverdam Creek and Cherokee Cr drain the surrounding hills and farmland.
