About this map

The boundary between Oconee Co Anderson Co centers this study of the Upstate landscape during the mid-to-late 20th century. The creation of Hartwell Lake is a defining physical change, shown here with inundated areas that transformed the valleys of Coneross Creek and Beaverdam Creek. The settlement of Fair Play sits near a major Interchange, while Townville remains a focal point on the eastern side of the county line.

Genealogists will find a wealth of country landmarks, including several houses of worship such as Old Hephzibah Ch, Earles Grove Ch, and St Pauls Ch. The map also preserves the locations of rural infrastructure like the Fork Sch and the community at Cross Roads. These features illustrate the transition from a traditional Piedmont agricultural network to a landscape increasingly shaped by large-scale water management and modern transportation corridors.
