1921 Map of Appling

About this map

The Savannah River and Little River define the winding northern and central boundaries of this 1921 portrait of Columbia County. The landscape is an intricate network of local crossroads and community hubs, with Appling serving as a central point for the region's transport along the Augusta Road. Transport across the rivers remained reliant on local crossings such as Lockhart Ferry and the Raysville Bridge, reflecting a time before modern dam projects altered these waterways.
