2017 Map of Pacolet Mills

About this map

Pacolet Mills sits at the heart of this landscape where the Pacolet River winds through the Piedmont, defining the boundaries between Spartanburg, Cherokee, and Union counties. The terrain is marked by a dense network of watercourses, including Thicketty Creek and the Pacolet Reservoir, which have historically driven the development of communities like Central Pacolet and Pacolet Park. The map reveals a tapestry of rural life through its numerous family and community landmarks, such as Whig Hill Cem and Mount Zion Cem. Local historians will find significance in the road network connecting established settlements like Goucher and White Plains to the river's edge at Grindall Shoals. The transition from industrial mill sites to small upland hamlets like Asbury illustrates the enduring geographic character of this South Carolina region.
