2011 Map of Wellford

About this map

North Tyger River and Middle Tyger River define the industrial and agricultural landscape of this Spartanburg County region as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map highlights the area's textile heritage through landmarks like Jackson Mill, Fairmont Mills, and the Startex Mill Pond Number One Dam, which once supported the local economy. Residential clusters such as Startex, Wellford, and Fairmont are interspersed with numerous historic burial grounds, including the Penney-McMillian Cemetery and Nazareth Cemetery. The topography is shaped by water bodies like Lake Cooley and Shoals Lake, while the intersection of modern interstate travel at Pinnacle Heights contrasts with older rural routes like the Old Greenville Hwy. This survey provides a clear view of the transition between established mill towns and modern suburban development in the Upstate.
