About this map

The Savannah River defines this riverine landscape along the Georgia-South Carolina border, winding through a complex system of backwaters and named landings. These sites, including Red Bluff Landing, Cohens Bluff Landing, and Brier Creek Landing, suggest a legacy of river access and small-scale transit points along the water's edge. The terrain is marked by distinctive bends and elevations like Matthews Bluff and Whirligig Point, where the river creates narrow channels and oxbow-like features such as Barnes Lake and Blue Lake.

Away from the main channel, the map documents early infrastructure and community markers like Brannons Bridge and Hagan Pond Dam. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of Trinity Cemetery and Lee Cemetery, which are connected by a network of rural routes including Old River Rd and Cedar Knoll Rd. The convergence of Brier Creek and Clear Water Creek into the Savannah floodplain highlights the low-lying nature of this region.
