About this map

J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir dominates this landscape, its intricate, finger-like shoreline defining the boundary between Columbia and Lincoln counties. The settlement of Leah sits at the intersection of Washington Rd and Ridge Rd, serving as a central point for the surrounding rural community. The area's history is preserved in several family burial grounds, including Blanchard Cem near the southern border and Hardin Cem to the north.

Along the western edge, Mistletoe State Park occupies a significant peninsula, while Bussey Point extends into the reservoir to the northeast. The map details a transition from traditional land use to recreation, with numerous creek systems like Keg Creek and Chigoe Cr feeding into the larger reservoir. Notable infrastructure includes Legg Bridge, which facilitates movement across the water-intersected terrain, and a network of local roads such as Old Lincolnton Rd and Cherokee Country Club Rd.
