1947 Map of Spartanburg

Rural life south of the city is anchored by family-named landmarks and institutions like the State Deaf and Blind Sch and the Walnut Grove Ch. The map reveals a landscape defined by its watercourses, where the North Tyger River and South Tyger River flow toward their confluence, passing historic sites like Foster Mill and Kennedy Mill. For genealogists, the presence of numerous community hubs such as Glenn Springs and Pauline provides a window into the established social fabric of the Piedmont before modern suburban expansion.
