2011 Map of Lowndesville

About this map

Lowndesville serves as the focal point of this South Carolina landscape, positioned just east of the expansive waters of Richard B Russell Lake. The terrain is defined by the intricate dendritic drainage of Deal Creek, Bond Creek, and Charlies Creek, which feed into the larger reservoir. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding burial sites, noting Smyrna Cemetery, Providence Cemetery, and the Old McCalla Cemetery near the shores of McCalla Island. The 2011 survey also highlights infrastructure like the Lowndesville Post Office and water management features such as the Paradise Valley Lake Dam D-3029. This area represents a transition from traditional agricultural land use to a landscape dominated by the Corps of Engineers' reservoir, where historical river features like Gregg Shoals now sit adjacent to the modern shoreline.
