About this map

The fingers of Hartwell Lake define the geography of this border region where Hart County, Georgia, meets Anderson and Oconee Counties in South Carolina. This modern topographic survey shows the complex shoreline where the Savannah River basin was transformed, leaving upland communities like Reed Creek and Fair Play as focal points for residential development along roads like Lakeshore Dr and Riverlake Rd.

For local historians and genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, including the Mt Olivet Cem, New Harmony Cem, and the Rock Springs Cem. The transition from agrarian roots to a more modern landscape is evident in the presence of aviation and industry, from the Mustang Field Airport in the northeast to the Airnautique Inc Airport further south. Significant watercourses like Reed Creek and Paynes Creek continue to shape the terrain as they drain into the expansive reservoir system.
