2014 Map of Fair Play

About this map

Townville and the surrounding borderlands of Anderson and Oconee Counties are defined by the intricate shoreline of Hartwell Lake, which dominates the eastern and southern portions of the landscape. The interior is characterized by a network of rural settlements and family-named landmarks, reflecting a persistent agricultural and residential structure. In the north, Cross Roads and Snug Harbor sit above the finger-like inlets of Coneross Creek, while the southwestern corner features the established community of Fair Play. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, including Townville Cem, Hays Cem, and Snowhill Cem. The mapping of small water bodies like Keaslers Pond and Mitchells Lake, alongside the various forks of Beaverdam Cr, illustrates the drainage patterns that shaped local land use and property boundaries long before the arrival of the modern interstate and lake developments.
