2014 Map of Willington

About this map

J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir dominates the landscape along the South Carolina and Georgia border, where the flooding of the Savannah River valley has created a complex shoreline of deep coves and peninsulas. The high ground remains heavily wooded within the Sumter National Forest, sheltering historic sites like the De La Howe Tomb near Bordeaux. The area’s settlement history is preserved in several small communities and family-linked landmarks, including Willington and Lethia. Local genealogy is anchored by the Willington Cem, Bordeaux Cem, and Badwell Cem, while the road network connects the interior through crossings like Morrow Bridge and Mill Bridge. The map captures the meeting of the Little River and numerous creeks such as Scott Cr and Mathis Cr as they feed into the massive reservoir system.
