About this map

The Hartwell Dam stands as the central engineering feature of this landscape, anchoring the massive Hartwell Lake along the border between Georgia and South Carolina. This 2014 survey captures a region defined by its complex reservoir shorelines and the transition from the Savannah River's historic path to the expansive Richard B Russell Lake downstream. The settlement of Montevideo serves as a local hub amidst a network of rural roads such as Montevideo Rd and Nancy Hart School Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous family and community landmarks, including Sardis Cem, Cokesbury Cem, and Gaines Chapel Cem. The map documents the intricate river geography, featuring named landforms like Derritt Island and Hewin Island that remain prominent within the reservoir system. Infrastructure like the Morris Memorial Bridge and Smith-McGee Bridge provide vital crossings, connecting Hart County with Anderson County across the state line.
