1942 Map of Clarks Hill

About this map

The Savannah River carves the boundary between South Carolina and Georgia in this 1940s reprint of 1918-1919 field surveys. This landscape is defined by the river-and-rail economy of the early 20th century, where crossings like Gilchrist Ferry, Dents Ferry, and Middleton Ferry still served as vital connectors before later bridge developments. The Charleston and Western Carolina railroad runs roughly parallel to the river on the Georgia side, supporting small stations and spurs such as Johnsons Spur and Griffith Siding.
