2014 Map of Lowndesville

About this map

The town of Lowndesville stands at a high point in Abbeville County, overlooking a landscape dramatically defined by the expansive Richard B Russell Lake. This reservoir, formed along the border of South Carolina and Georgia, has submerged many of the historical valley features, but the map still identifies significant upland landmarks including Gregg Shoals and the Diamond Spring. The local geography is marked by numerous creeks and branches, such as Charlies Cr, Bond Cr, and Bowman Br, which feed into the lake's intricate shoreline. For those researching family history in the area, several burial sites remain on the high ground, including Smyrna Cem, Providence Cem, Ridge Cem, and the Old McCalla Cem. The map illustrates the contemporary road network, including SC-81 and several locally named routes like Pringle Clinkscale Rd and Gregg Shoals Rd, which connect these rural communities.
