About this map

Lincolnton serves as the focal point of this Lincoln County survey, situated at the intersection of numerous local routes such as Metasville Rd and Washington St. The landscape to the north and east is dominated by the sprawling reach of the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir, which defines the border between Georgia and South Carolina. This map illustrates a transition from the structured residential streets of the town center to the dense woodlands of the Sumter National Forest.

Genealogists can find several key burial sites including the Lincolnton Cem and the more remote Smith Chapel Cem near the northern reservoir branch. The rural character of the outlying areas is marked by small settlements like Leverett and the presence of the Prater Ranch Airport. Numerous waterways, including Dry Fork Cr and Little Cr, flow through the terrain towards the reservoir, tracing the natural drainage patterns of the Piedmont region.
