About this map

Lincolnton serves as the focal point of this survey, anchored by the Lincoln County Courthouse and the nearby Lincoln County Cem. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling reach of the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir, which defines the northern and eastern boundaries of the area. This massive water body is crossed by the Fortson Ferry Bridge at the border of the Sumter National Forest, illustrating the intersection of modern infrastructure and protected woodlands along the Georgia-South Carolina state line.

Rural life is evidenced by the smaller communities of Leverett and New Hope, and the presence of family-named landmarks such as Smith Chapel Cem and Dooley Spring. Transport routes like Chamberlain Ferry Rd and the Prater Ranch Airport show the area's development. The dendritic drainage patterns of Dry Fork Cr and Little Cr flow into the reservoir, revealing the complex local topography shaped by these numerous tributaries.
