About this map

Hartwell Lake and the Tugaloo River dominate this borderland landscape between Georgia and South Carolina. The intricate shoreline created by the reservoir's inundation has transformed the topography, creating numerous fingers of water that reach into local communities like Fairview and Old Madison. This 2011 survey reveals a territory marked by its history of water management and rural settlement, where family names persist through features such as the Ramsey-Jarrett Bridge and the Mullins Ford Cemetery.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the community of Avalon sits along a primary corridor, while the surrounding hills are dotted with several small burial grounds, including the Confidence Cemetery and Eastanollee Cemetery. The presence of Fighting Pine and Dixon Crossroads suggests a pattern of localized rural centers. This map provides a detailed view of the modern road network, from Jarrett Bridge Rd to State Hwy S-37-38, which navigates the complex terrain shaped by Eastanollee Creek and Chauga Creek.
