About this map

Hartwell Lake dominates the western landscape of this quadrangle, its intricate shoreline forming the border between Anderson Co and Hart Co, as well as the state line between South Carolina and Georgia. The rugged eastern terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Big Generostee Creek, Devil Fork Cr, and Buchanan Cr, which carve through the land before reaching the reservoir.

Settlement patterns follow the high ridges between these drainages, anchored by the community at Holland Store in the southern portion of the sheet. For genealogists and local historians, several landmarks provide vital links to the area's past, including Andersonville Cem near the northern lake reaches and Providence Cem located centrally. The road network, featuring names like Old Roberts Church Rd and Providence Church Rd, suggests the historical importance of local congregations in shaping the rural social fabric of the Piedmont.
