About this map

The Middle Tyger River and South Tyger River converge in this Spartanburg County landscape, framing a dense network of industrial textile legacy and suburban growth. The settlement at Startex and the prominent Jackson Mill site reflect the region's historical manufacturing core, while newer developments like Woodfield and Fairforest show the mid-20th-century expansion between the cities of Spartanburg and Greenville.

Genealogists can find several important burial sites, including the Mt Zion Baptist Church Cem and the Penney-McMillian Cem near Duncan. The geography is defined by the proximity of major transit corridors like the Greenville Hwy and the Old Spartanburg Hwy, which intersect several small communities and historic crossroads such as Hadden Crossroads and Snoddy. To the north, the sprawling Lake Cooley provides a significant water feature amidst the rolling Piedmont terrain.
