USGS Topo · Published 1937About this map
The Broad River winds through the heart of Cherokee County, defining the early 20th-century landscape of northern South Carolina and the state line border with Cleveland County, North Carolina. This period is marked by a reliance on river crossings and the burgeoning industrial nodes of Gaffney and Blacksburg. The map documents a vanishing era of river transportation, naming several vital crossing points such as Ellis Ferry, Jones Ferry, and Cherokee Ferry, which served the region before modern bridges dominated the corridor.
