About this map

Gaffney serves as the focal point of this Cherokee County survey, where the historic campus of Limestone College and the Cherokee County Courthouse anchor the town center. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Cherokee Cr and Thicketty Cr, which drain the undulating terrain marked by Queens Ridge. To the west, the smaller settlement of Thicketty sits near the confluence of several creeks, illustrating the region's traditional reliance on these natural drainage patterns for early development.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data across numerous burial sites, from larger established locations like Oakland Cem and Frederick Memorial Gardens to smaller family or community plots such as Burns Cem and Huskey Cem. Religious centers like Providence Baptist Church and Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist Church further reflect the community's long-standing social structure. Modern land use is also visible through the Watershed Number 16a Reservoir and the expansive Gaffney Memorial Park.
