About this map

Walnut Grove Plantation and the Price Historical House stand as central landmarks in this Spartanburg County landscape, where the convergence of the North Tyger River and South Tyger River dictates the local geography. The map reveals a rural South Carolina community defined by its water crossings and historic church sites, such as Foster Chapel and Wofford Chapel.

Navigation through the Piedmont terrain is marked by numerous named shoals along the riverbanks, including Nancy Thomas Shoals and Nesbitt Shoals. The presence of the Seaboard railroad near Moore and Stone Station indicates the enduring importance of rail transport to these settlements. From the northern edge of Croft State Park to the multiple family-named bridges like Price Bridge and Scott Bridge, the map documents a network of established homesteads and local infrastructure in the early 1980s.
