2017 Map of Chesnee

About this map

Cowpens National Battlefield anchors the southern portion of this landscape, preserving the site of a pivotal Revolutionary War engagement within a network of modern rural roads and creek beds. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Broad River, which cuts through the center of the sheet, and the Second Broad River entering from the northeast near the industrial settlement of Cliffside. This 2017 survey reveals the intricate border dynamics where Spartanburg and Cherokee counties in South Carolina meet the North Carolina line near Brice. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including the Briscoe Family Cem and Scruggs Cem, alongside established community hubs like the Jerusalem Cem and Harris First Baptist Church Cem. Small regional airstrips such as Boomerang Airport and the Ultraport/Flightpark further distinguish the area's development.
