About this map

Clark Hill Lake dominates the central and eastern portions of this 1971 survey, showing a landscape defined by the impoundment of the Little River. This reservoir has reshaped the local geography where Lincoln and Columbia counties meet, creating an intricate shoreline of inlets and points now utilized for recreation at Mistletoe State Park and various boat ramps. Inland, the map documents a network of rural settlements and spiritual centers that predate the reservoir's full development.

Small communities like Loco, Leathersville, and Woodlawn are connected by winding roads through the Georgia Piedmont. The cultural fabric of these rural areas is highlighted by numerous churches, including Loco Holiness Ch, Antioch Ch, and Tabernacle Ch. To the south, the Raysville Bridge provides a vital crossing near Raysville, while family-named landmarks like Mistletoe Corners and Winfield Hill offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the legacy of these lakeside communities.
