About this map

Burtons Ferry Landing marks a historic crossing point on the Savannah River at the eastern edge of Burke County, where river-based transport once interfaced with the regional road network. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape defined by controlled water bodies and agricultural infrastructure, including Wade Lake Number One and Wade Lake Number Two, both managed by their respective dams. The area’s genealogical footprint is preserved in locations like Bethel Cemetery and Meek Cemetery, while local aviation is represented by the Wade Plantation Airport.

A network of named rural routes such as Andrews Chapel Rd and Oglethorpe Trl connect scattered family-named sites and landmarks. These roads navigate a terrain drained by numerous watercourses, most notably Rocky Creek and McDaniel Creek, which feed into the Savannah basin. The map captures the persistent character of this borderland region between Georgia and South Carolina, where the Burtons Ferry Bridge continues to facilitate interstate transit.
