About this map

The Savannah River forms a winding natural boundary between South Carolina and Georgia, anchoring a landscape defined by oxbow lakes and intricate marshy channels. Lowland features such as Dead River Lake, Brierpatch Lake, and Ferguson Lake illustrate the shifting path of the river over time, while points like Jaw Point and Possum Eddy mark the river's serpentine bends. The terrain away from the river is a network of small tributaries including Brier Creek and Watchaw Creek, which cut through the wooded lowlands known locally as The Gaul.

Settlement patterns are concentrated at small junctions like Concord Crossroads and Gravel Hill. For genealogists and local historians, this map is particularly dense with small family and community burial sites, including Magdalene Cem, Antioch Cem, and Cohen Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like Blue Spring and Bull Pond, provide a detailed look at the rural character of Allendale County in the early 21st century.
