2017 Map of Pacolet

About this map

The Pacolet River and its major tributary, Lawsons Fork Creek, dominate this part of Spartanburg County, reflecting a landscape long defined by water power and industrial ponding. The map details the mill-town legacies of Clifton and Glendale, where several numbered impoundments such as Clifton Mill Number One Pond and Clifton Mill Number Two Pond illustrate the historical footprint of textile operations along the shoals. Further south, the industry shifts toward mineral extraction, noted by the Lithium Corporation Pond near Calico. This 2017 survey also documents significant historical land use at Camp Croft, preserving the spatial layout of the former military training site. For those tracing local families, numerous small burial grounds are identified, including the Brown Family Cem and Willis Cem, scattered among the residential hubs of Converse and White Stone.
