About this map

J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir dominates this Georgia landscape, its sprawling, irregular shoreline creating a complex network of inlets and peninsulas such as Bussey Point. The settlement of Leah and the Dunn Chapel community occupy the higher ground between the water and the southern creeks. Transportation patterns follow the ridgelines, with Legg Bridge providing a vital crossing point over the reservoir's western reaches.

Local history is preserved in sites like Blanchard Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery, located near the intersection of old rural routes like Petersburg Rd and Holloway Rd. Small-scale water features like Eubank Lake and its Eubank Lake Dam appear alongside seasonal drainages including Mims Branch and Chigoe Creek, illustrating the transition from traditional agricultural land use to the modern recreational focus of the Ridge Road Camping Area.
