About this map

The Pacolet River winds through this Piedmont landscape, defining a corridor of industrial and residential development that includes the textile communities of Clifton and Glendale. This modern survey reveals the lasting footprint of mill town infrastructure and the extensive reach of Camp Croft in the southwest. The geography is characterized by numerous small tributaries like Lawsons Fork Creek and Richland Cr that cut through the terrain toward the river.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local data in the cemeteries distributed across the countryside, ranging from the Brown Family Cem to the Green Bethel Baptist Church Cem. The map tracks the evolution of settlements from the traditional rail-oriented center at Clifton Station to the suburban expansion near Spartanburg. The presence of the CSX railroad corridor remains a central feature, alongside the distinct clusters of Pacolet and Central Pacolet.
