2011 Map of Augusta East

About this map

The Savannah River serves as the central artery and state boundary in this 2011 survey of the borderlands between Georgia and South Carolina. On the western bank, the urban grid of Augusta is anchored by institutions like the University of Georgia Medical College and several historic burial grounds, including Magnolia Cemetery and West View Cemetery. Across the water, the South Carolina side transitions from the settlement at Hamburg into the more open landscapes of Beech Island and Johnstown. The map documents the enduring importance of river crossings, from the modern Butt Memorial Bridge and Sand Bar Ferry Bridge to the older Sand Bar Ferry Landing near Sand Bar Ferry Bluff. Notable water features such as Lake Olmstead, Horse Creek, and the Beaverdam Ditch reveal a complex network of natural and engineered drainage systems supporting the region.
