2017 Map of Willington

About this map

The J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir dominates the landscape along the McCormick County, South Carolina, and Lincoln County, Georgia border. The finger-like reaches of the lake extend into the Sumter National Forest, surrounding the settlements of Willington and Bordeaux. This modern topographic survey reveals a deep connection to the land's history through family and community landmarks, such as the De La Howe Tomb and several local burial grounds including Willington Cem, Bordeaux Cem, and Badwell Cem. Transport across the numerous creeks is facilitated by named crossings like Morrow Bridge, Mill Bridge, and Long Cane Bridge. The area is characterized by a dense network of forest roads and residential lanes like Huguenot Pkwy and Bordeaux Rd, illustrating the intersection of timberlands, protected wilderness, and rural heritage along the Savannah River basin.
