2020 Map of Chennault

About this map

The J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir dominates this landscape where the Savannah River valley meets the Georgia-South Carolina border. In this modern era, the expansive reservoir has reshaped the local geography, yet old inland settlements and rural road networks persist. Historically significant nodes like Chennault and Graball remain as markers of the area's agricultural and social foundations. To the east, the Sumter National Forest preserves the wooded character of the McCormick County side of the water, while the Georgia banks in Lincoln and Wilkes Counties show a mix of residential developments like Fishing Creek Ests and traditional rural routes. Longstanding transportation corridors such as Mallorysville Lisbon Rd and the memory of old river crossings at Hester S Ferry Rd provide essential context for researchers tracing the evolution of these riverfront communities from early landings to contemporary lakeside locales.
