2020 Map of Parksville

About this map

Parksville stands as a central point of interest in this McCormick County landscape, where the waters of the Savannah River meet the extensive J Strom Thurmond Reservoir. The map reveals a transition from the structured street grid of the town to the dense woodlands of the Sumter National Forest. This area is defined by its deep hydrological network, with Stevens Creek, Turkey Creek, and numerous branches like Mack Br and Coon Cr carving through the terrain. Evidence of the region's agricultural and industrial past is preserved in place names such as Parks Mill and Whitetown. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, including Parksville Cem, Rehoboth Cem, and the Old Rehoboth Cem. Modern recreational use is highlighted by the Wine/Turkey Creek Hiking Trail and the Turkey/Stevens Creek Canoe Trail, indicating how the local economy and culture revolve around these historic waterways.
