About this map

The Pacolet River winds through the heart of this South Carolina landscape, defining the industrial and social development of communities like Pacolet Mills and Central Pacolet. This modern survey documents the contemporary footprint of these historic textile and mill towns at the junction of Spartanburg, Union, and Cherokee counties. Highlighting the area's genealogical depth, the map identifies numerous family and community landmarks, including the Mount Zion Baptist Church Graveyard and Whig Hill Cem.

Rural settlements such as Goucher, White Plains, and Asbury are connected by a network of creeks, including Thickety Creek and Goucher Creek. The eastern edge of the quadrangle includes Grindall Shoals, an area with deep roots in local history. From the recreational grounds of Pacolet Park to the remote Fernandez Cem, the map provides a comprehensive look at the modern-day distribution of these long-established Upstate settlements.
