About this map

Spartanburg serves as the dense hub of this Upstate South Carolina survey, radiating outward into a network of established industrial and academic centers. The map documents a significant concentration of higher education, including Wofford College, Converse College, and Spartanburg Methodist College, which sit alongside the central Spartanburg County Judicial Center. This academic presence is balanced by the area's transportation and industrial infrastructure, notably the NS railroad lines passing through Hayne Station and the activity at the Spartanburg Downtown Memorial Airport/Simpson Field.

Residential expansion is evident in numerous named neighborhoods and suburbs like Washington Heights, Fairview Heights, and Woodburn Hills. Natural drainage is defined by Lawsons Fork Creek and its tributaries, such as Chinquapin Cr, which carve through the terrain between settlements. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites ranging from the central Magnolia Street Cem to the Liberty United Methodist Church Graveyard and Lincoln Memorial Gardens in the northeast.
