About this map

Croft State Park occupies the northern reaches of this landscape, where the waters of Fairforest Creek and Kelsey Creek converge near Lake Craig. The area's agricultural and social history is etched into the terrain through numerous family cemeteries and country churches, such as Antioch Cem and the Shiloh Ch. The settlement of Glenn Springs serves as a central point in a network of drainage basins, including the Mineral Spring Branch and Story Branch.

Evidence of early local industry and infrastructure remains visible at Foster Mill and the Tinsley Bridge crossing. Moving south toward the Spartanburg Co Union Co line, the topography becomes a dense web of small waterways like Dutchman Creek and Sugar Creek, supporting dispersed communities such as West Springs and Pauline. The presence of the Spartanburg Boys Home and various rural schools provides a look at the mid-century social fabric of this Upstate South Carolina region.
