1893 Map of Elberton
USGS Topo · Published 1893About this map
Elberton and Hartwell anchor this late nineteenth-century landscape where the Savannah River forms the state line between Georgia and South Carolina. The river corridor is defined by its vital river-crossing economy, featuring numerous named islands such as Greens Island and Derritt Island, alongside essential transport points like Browns Ferry, Craft Ferry, and Bowman Ferry. This survey documents a transition in regional transport as the Savannah Valley Railroad serves the eastern bank in South Carolina, while traditional milling operations like Craft Mill and Adams Mill remain active along the tributaries.
