2020 Map of Oakway

About this map

Hartwell Lake dominates the central landscape of this border region, where the winding fingers of the reservoir reach into the hills of Oconee County and Franklin County. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems such as Little Choestoea Cr and Fair Play Cr, which flow toward the sprawling lake basin. Small settlements like Oakway and South Union serve as local hubs, characterized by a dense network of country roads and family-named landmarks. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data here, as the map meticulously records numerous church-affiliated burial grounds, including the South Union Baptist Church Graveyard and the Nazareth Methodist Church Graveyard. The placement of these cemeteries and several independent plots like Marett Cem provides a clear view of the historic family and congregational footprints that have shaped these Georgia and South Carolina communities.
