About this map

Townville and Fair Play anchor this Piedmont landscape, which is defined by the dendritic fingers of Hartwell Lake and its numerous tributaries. The geography reflects the significant transition from small-scale agriculture to water management and recreational use, with several controlled basins like Beaverdam Watershed Five Lake and Beaverdam Watershed Four Lake scattered across the terrain.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the detailed documentation of community landmarks, including the Townville Baptist Church Graveyard and Snowhill Baptist Church Graveyard. The naming of rural intersections like Cross Roads and individual bodies of water such as Mitchells Lake and Keaslers Pond preserves the traditional place names of Oconee and Anderson Counties. The intricate road network, featuring names like Sitton Mill Rd, suggests the area's long-standing connection to local water-powered industry and family landholdings.
