2017 Map of Leah

About this map

The sprawling shoreline of the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir dominates this landscape along the border of Lincoln and Columbia counties. The settlement of Leah serves as a central point for the surrounding rural area, where the road network follows the undulating terrain of the Piedmont region. On the western edge of the sheet, Mistletoe State Park occupies a peninsula jutting into the reservoir, preserving a large tract of shoreline. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks and historical burial sites, including the Hardin Cem, Blanchard Cem, and Bethel Cem. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Savannah River basin, with named waterways such as Keg Creek, Chigoe Cr, and Mims Br feeding into the larger reservoir. Numerous residential roads and landings like Bussey Point suggest the area's development as a recreational and lakeside community.
