1941 Map of Clarks Hill

About this map

The Savannah River serves as the primary artery for this 1941 survey, marking the state boundary between South Carolina and Georgia before the major reservoir developments of the late 20th century. Numerous ferries like Gilchrist Ferry and Denis Ferry still appear as vital crossing points, while islands such as Price Island and Germain Island dot the river channel. The landscape is defined by its agrarian and industrial infrastructure, with the Charleston and Western Carolina RR and the Georgia and Florida RR connecting settlements like Evans, Martinez, and Clarks Hill. Social life of the era is anchored by numerous rural institutions, including Red Oak Grove Sch, Poplar Springs Ch, and Republican Ch, while the transition to an industrial economy is visible at locations like Griffith Siding.
