1960 Map of Reed Creek

About this map

Lake Hartwell dominates this mid-century landscape, its sprawling waters filling the valleys of the Tugaloo River and its tributaries along the Georgia and South Carolina border. The map reflects a rural community anchored by numerous country churches and family-named sites, such as Vernon Ch, New Hope Ch, and Mt Harmony Ch. While the rising reservoir reshaped the riverfronts of Hart Co and Anderson Co, the upland areas maintain a dense network of homesteads and small settlements like Reed Creek and Maretts.
