1978 Map of Burtons Ferry Landing

About this map

Savannah River bottomlands define the eastern border of this Georgia-South Carolina boundary region in the late 1970s. The landscape is marked by a network of drainage systems including Rocky Creek and McDaniel Creek, which feed into oxbow lakes like Mount Lake and Hershman Lake. The settlement pattern is largely rural and ecclesiastical, evidenced by numerous small congregations such as St Andrews Chapel, Bethel Brick Ch, and Wesley Chapel scattered across the Screven County countryside. Near the river, Burtons Ferry Landing serves as a local landmark, while the inland area near Millhaven features a private Landing Strip, suggesting the continued importance of both traditional water-based and modern air transport in this agricultural and timber-focused corner of the South.
