2019 Map of Boiling Springs South

About this map

Boiling Springs serves as the primary northern anchor for this study, which tracks the transition from North Carolina into South Carolina along the Broad River. The landscape is defined by the winding river valley and the numerous tributaries that feed it, including Sandy Run, Sarratt Cr, and Cherokee Cr. This terrain necessitated early local infrastructure that remains visible, such as Steel Bridge Rd and several family-named landmarks. The map captures a high density of rural burial grounds and places of worship, including the Cherokee Creek Baptist Church Graveyard and Mount Pleasant Church. Further south, the rural character is punctuated by the Gaffney Airport and the settlement of Grassy Pond. This document is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it meticulously records small, often isolated burial sites like Camps Creek Cem and Jolley Cem alongside larger landmarks like Cleveland Memorial Park.
