2024 Map of Willington

About this map

The waters of the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir dominate the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking the border between South Carolina and Georgia. Along the eastern shores of these reservoir inlets, the settlements of Willington and Bordeaux maintain their historic presence amidst the timberlands of the Sumter National Forest. The map reveals a high concentration of genealogical sites, including the Willington Cem and the uniquely named De La Howe Tomb Grave. Cultural landmarks like the Holy Rock Church Graveyard and Bordeaux Church Graveyard are preserved alongside modern residential developments near the lake. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages such as Long Cane Creek and Little River, which flow toward the reservoir. Traces of older river-based transit remain visible through the labels for Leroys Ferry and Remsens Ferry, anchoring the modern map to its historical role as a river crossing point.
