About this map

Philson Crossroads sits at the heart of a landscape defined by the winding Enoree River and its numerous tributaries, including Cedar Shoals Creek and Duncan Creek. This area in the eastern reaches of Clinton reveals a network of rural life, anchored by scattered places of worship and many family-named burial grounds such as Yarboroughs Chapel United Methodist Church Graveyard and Bobo Cem. The presence of Goudelock Mill Falls suggests a history tied to the power of the local waterways.

Outdoor recreation and conservation appear through the Enoree River Canoe Trail and the Palmetto Trail, which traverse portions of the Sumter National Forest. The map also captures the meeting of three counties, with boundaries for Spartanburg, Union, and Laurens all intersecting near the river. Topographical landmarks like Birds Mtn rise above the stream valleys, while Jones Bridge and Johns Creek Bridge facilitate movement across the dense drainage network of the Upstate.
