2020 Map of Calhoun Falls

About this map

Calhoun Falls serves as the primary hub in this South Carolina-Georgia borderland, where the landscape is defined by the massive reservoirs of the Savannah River basin. The town's grid transitions into the surrounding rural landscape of Abbeville County, leading toward the smaller communities of Hester and Mount Carmel. Large-scale water features like Richard B Russell Lake and the northern reaches of the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir dominate the western and southern boundaries, illustrating the 20th-century transformation of the river valley. Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial sites, including Tates Grove Baptist Cem, Boyd Cem, and Brough Cem. The eastern portion of the map covers the wooded expanse of the Sumter National Forest, while various creeks such as McKenley Cr and Sawney Cr drain the remaining uplands. This contemporary survey preserves the modern names of early crossroads and the enduring footprints of family cemeteries.
