2014 Map of Pacolet Mills

About this map

The Pacolet River winds through the Piedmont terrain of Spartanburg, Cherokee, and Union counties, serving as a primary geographical anchor for industrial and residential development. In the southwestern quadrant, the textile legacy of the region is evident in the cluster of Pacolet Mills, Central Pacolet, and Pacolet Park. This area, shaped by the water power of the river and the later development of the Pacolet Reservoir, remains a focal point of local history. Northward, the landscape transitions into a network of agricultural communities and rural outposts such as Goucher and White Plains. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting several burial grounds including Whig Hill Cem, Mt Zion Cem, and Asbury Cem. Near the confluence of several creeks, the historic site of Grindall Shoals marks a traditional river crossing point at the junction of the three counties.
