About this map

J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir dominates the landscape of this eastern Georgia quadrangle, where the expansive water body winds through the borderlands of Lincoln, Columbia, and McDuffie counties. The intricate shoreline creates complex peninsulas and coves, including the prominent Raysville Bend. This modern survey illustrates how the reservoir has reshaped local geography, though traditional settlement patterns remain visible in inland hamlets like Amity, Woodlawn, and Loco.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing community landmarks such as Saint Pauls Methodist Church and several family-named burial grounds like Hogan Cem. The map highlights the transition from rural agricultural routes to modern recreational land use, anchored by the extensive grounds of Mistletoe State Park along the southern reservoir banks. Numerous creeks, including Hamburg Br and Dozier Br, feed into the larger basin, marking the original drainage patterns that existed before the damming of the river system.
