About this map

The J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir dominates this borderland landscape between Georgia and South Carolina, where the Savannah River basin forms a complex shoreline of inlets and peninsulas. Small inland settlements such as Chennault and Graball are connected by a network of rural roads that cross into the Sumter National Forest to the east. The terrain is marked by significant topographical variation, particularly around Hester Bottoms and the drainage of Patterson Cr.

Modern residential development is evident along the water's edge in areas like Fishing Creek Ests and Holiday Estates Rd, while the broader region maintains its agricultural and timber character. Historic transportation routes are preserved in names such as Hester S Ferry Rd, hinting at the river-crossing history of the Savannah before the creation of the reservoir. Settlements like Mount Carmel and Honora sit further back from the water, anchoring the higher ground of the surrounding counties.
