About this map

Calhoun Falls serves as the primary hub in this West South Carolina landscape, situated where the Savannah River basin forms the state boundary with Georgia. The 2014 terrain is defined by the massive impoundments of Richard B Russell Lake and the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir, which have fundamentally reshaped the local geography from its original river-and-shoal character at Trotters Shoals.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, such as Hester Cem, Brough Cem, and Mt Carmel Cem. The map captures the small-town footprints of Hester and Mount Carmel, alongside specialized landmarks like the Hester Memorial Airport. To the east, the edge of the Sumter National Forest begins to dominate the landscape, while the interior is webbed with creeks like Sawney Cr and Russells Cr.
