2014 Map of Parksville

About this map

Parksville and Modoc sit along the western edge of the South Carolina piedmont, positioned where the terrain descends toward the wide J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir. This landscape is defined by the transition from the rolling woodlands of the Sumter National Forest to the reservoir's shoreline. The map reveals a network of rural settlements and family landmarks, including Whitetown and the site of Parks Mill along Stevens Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites such as Old Rohoboth Cem, Rohoboth Cem, and New Hope Cem. The topography is intricately carved by numerous drainages like Byrd Cr, Turkey Creek, and Beaverdam Cr, which flow through the forest toward the Savannah River basin, while Key Bridge provides a notable crossing point in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.
