About this map

Evans and Evanston anchor this residential landscape just west of the Savannah River at the turn of the 21st century. The map reveals a suburban transition where established family-named landmarks like Burks Mountain and German Island meet a dense network of modern subdivisions and private lakes. These water features, often created by small dams like the Columbia Land Corporation Lake Dam and Idlewylde Lake Dam, define the neighborhood boundaries of Windmill Plantation, Deerwood Acres, and Calloway Woods.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, including the Old Avery Cemetery near the river and the Knox Cemetery farther west. The terrain is deeply carved by the drainage basins of Kiokee Creek, Uchee Creek, and Bettys Branch, which dictate the winding paths of roads like Old Belair Rd and Tubman Rd. Scattered remnants of the area's rural character persist in features like the Woodlawn Lookout Tower and Snellings Memorial Acre.
