About this map

Calhoun Falls serves as the primary hub of this 1964 survey, situated at the junction of the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line railroads. The landscape is defined by the expansive waters of the Clark Hill Reservoir along the Savannah River, where the US Reservation boundary follows the normal pool elevation of 330 feet.

Smaller settlements and rural landmarks reveal the social fabric of the era, including Hester and Mount Carmel to the southeast. Genealogists can trace local congregations at Springfield Ch, Hester Ch, and McAllister Chapel, or locate the Ellison Sch near the Sumter National Forest boundary. The presence of the Hester Memorial Airport and the Calhoun Falls Country Club highlights the mid-century development and recreational infrastructure emerging alongside the older agricultural and timbered terrain of Abbeville and McCormick Counties.
