About this map

Townville and Fair Play anchor this corner of the Upstate where Anderson and Oconee counties meet along the shores of Hartwell Lake. The landscape is defined by the complex branching of the W Prong Little Beaver Dam Cr and several watershed management features like Beaverdam Watershed Five Lake and Beaverdam Watershed Four Lake. These water control structures illustrate the mid-century transformation of the Savannah River basin's tributaries into a regulated network of reservoirs and ponds.

Local history is preserved in the placement of the Townville Cem, Snowhill Cem, and Hays Cem, which mark the settlement patterns of established rural communities such as Earles Grove and Cross Roads. Small-scale agricultural heritage is visible through numerous named family access points, including Prater Farm Rd and Deer Knoll Dr, scattered across the rolling terrain between Snow Cr and Hurricane Cr.
