About this map

Fountain Inn and Simpsonville anchor this 1983 provisional survey of the Upstate, showing the area's development along the Seaboard rail line. The landscape is characterized by its transition from agricultural crossroads to suburban growth, with the border between Greenville Co and Laurens Co cutting through the southern half of the map. Local history is preserved through numerous rural congregations and landmarks, such as Old Shady Oak Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Pine Grove Ch, which remain key community focal points.

The topography is defined by the numerous watercourses feeding the Enoree and Reedy basins, including the various forks of Durbin Creek, Stoddard Creek, and Wilson Creek. Large public spaces like Cannon Memorial Park and educational centers such as Bryson Middle Sch and Hillcrest High Sch reflect the mid-century expansion of these towns. Genealogists will find value in the specific locations of family-named landmarks like Gaylord Crossroads and several community burial grounds including New Durbin Cem and Jones Cem.
