1959 Map of Hartwell NE

About this map

Hartwell Reservoir dominates this landscape along the South Carolina Georgia border, capturing a pivotal moment as the impounded waters of the Savannah River and Seneca River redefined the region's geography. Blue hatching across the map indicates areas subject to controlled inundation, illustrating how the reservoir's rise altered established land patterns. The settlement of Andersonville sits near the confluence, surrounded by a network of rural landmarks such as Holland Store and several country churches including Lyle Memorial Ch and Providence Ch. For those tracing local heritage, the map preserves the original locations of numerous homesteads and community centers like Roberts Ch and New Hope Ch before modern developments further transformed the banks of Sadler Creek and Beaverdam Creek.
