2012 Map of Calhoun Falls

About this map

Calhoun Falls serves as the primary hub in this corner of Abbeville County, where the landscape is defined by the massive reach of Richard B Russell Lake and the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir. The map reveals a transition from the town's street grid into the surrounding rural tracts and protected lands like Calhoun Falls State Park. Family history is anchored in the countryside by several burial grounds, including Hester Cemetery, Boyd Cemetery, and Brough Cemetery. Water dominates the southern and western portions of the quadrangle, where former land features like Trotters Shoals and Goat Island are now part of a large-scale hydroelectric and recreational basin. Small aviation history is represented by the Hester Memorial Airport, located just east of the main settlement at Hester.
