2024 Map of Reed Creek

About this map

Hartwell Lake and the Tugaloo River dominate this borderland landscape where Georgia and South Carolina meet. The terrain is defined by the dendritic fingers of the reservoir, reaching into valleys once carved by Wolf Creek and Reed Creek. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural road network, with routes like Reed Creek School Rd and Old Anderson Hwy connecting the dispersed settlements of Fair Play, Maretts, and Mount Olivet. Several historical crossing points are preserved in name, including Coles Ferry, Averys Ferry, and Chandlers Ferry, marking the era before modern bridges spanned the river. For genealogists, the map identifies numerous small burial grounds such as the Cole Civil War Cem, Robertson Cem, and New Prospect Cem, alongside established congregations like the Sharon Presbyterian Church Cem.
