2017 Map of Valley Falls

About this map

Valley Falls and the rapidly growing area of Boiling Springs define the landscape of this Spartanburg County region. The northern reaches are dominated by the waters of Lake William C Bowen, formed by the damming of the Pacolet River and the North Pacolet River. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of suburban expansion and traditional rural features, where institutions like the Sherman Coll of Chiropractic sit within a network of older settlements such as Cherokee Springs and Mountain View. The mapping of several family and community burial grounds, including the Carlisle Cem and Buck Creek Cem, provides essential points for genealogical research. Smaller water bodies like Flatwood Lake and Waldrops Lake dot the terrain south of the Pearson's Farm Airport, while Lawsons Fork Creek flows toward the southern boundary of the map.
