About this map

The Savannah River and the extensive waters of the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir define the landscape of McCormick County, South Carolina, as it appeared in 2020. This survey captures a rural landscape where the Sumter National Forest provides a vast green backdrop for communities like Modoc and Clarks Hill. The road network, including State RD S-33-312 and Clarks Hill RD, connects scattered residential areas and points of local interest such as The Point.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is a primary source for identifying family burial grounds, including the Modoc Cem, Jones Cem, Bethelehem Cem, and Ashbury Cem. The winding course of Stevens Creek and Gundy Creek flow through the timberlands, while the Bartram Trail follows the undulating terrain near the reservoir's edge. From the small settlement of Meriwether to the Madoc Bridge, the sheet provides a detailed account of the region's hydrography and civil landmarks near the Georgia state line.
