1983 Map of Fingerville West

About this map

North Pacolet River winds across the Piedmont landscape where the state lines of North Carolina and South Carolina meet. This 1983 survey captures a rural landscape defined by historic church-centered communities and small settlements like Little Africa and New Prospect. The area shows a transition from traditional farming towards modern infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of the Fairview Airport and the interstate corridor of I-55. Local history is anchored by numerous congregational landmarks such as Mill Creek Ch, Riverside Ch, and Smith Chapel, alongside family-named locales like McGinnis Crossroads and Hickory Grove. The topography is marked by modest elevations such as Little Mountain, while the drainage network including Marys Branch and Turkey Creek dictates the historical placement of roads and homesteads.
