About this map

Cowpens National Battlefield anchors the northern reaches of this territory, where the borders of Spartanburg and Cherokee counties meet. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the Pacolet River and its numerous tributaries, including Island Cr, Cherokee Cr, and Little Thicketty Cr. The town of Cowpens serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller residential developments such as Bellview Acres, Riverview Park, and Clearview Heights.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense concentration of burial sites and religious centers, such as Piedmont Baptist Church Cem and Graham Chapel Wesleyan Church Cem. The terrain rises to the northeast at Thicketty Mtn, overlooking Thicketty Mountain Lake. Significant transportation corridors, including I-85 and Us-29, bisect the region, illustrating the evolution of the area from a rural agricultural and commemorative landscape into a more connected modern corridor.
