About this map

The Savannah River serves as the central artery and state boundary in this mid-1990s snapshot of the urban corridor between Georgia and South Carolina. On the western bank, the grid of Augusta reveals a dense network of civic and educational institutions, including the University of Georgia Medical College, Paine College, and Union Station. This side of the river is also defined by its historic funerary landscapes, notably Magnolia Cemetery and Cedar Grove Cemetery.

South of the city, the landscape shifts abruptly into the expansive wetlands of the Phinizy Swamp State Wildlife Management Area, where Butler Creek and Rocky Creek meander toward the river. Across the water in South Carolina, the terrain rises toward Shultz Hill and the settlement of Beech Island. Industrial history is evident in the numerous Claypits and Kilns scattered near Horse Creek, marking the regional importance of the local clay deposits.
