About this map

The Savannah River forms the primary geographic boundary of this 1960s survey, separating Georgia's Columbia County from McCormick County in South Carolina. The river landscape is defined by features like Little Germain Island and the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad which parallels the South Carolina bank through the Sumter National Forest. On the Georgia side, the terrain rises toward Burks Mountain, with a network of rural roads such as Old Petersburg Road and Middleton Ferry Road connecting early settlements.

Local life is anchored by numerous rural congregations and schools, including Mt Enna Ch and Gibbs Sch. The community of Evans appears as a small developing node, while the presence of the Snellings Memorial Acre and Old Avery Cem provides essential data for genealogical research. The drainage pattern of Kiokee Creek and its many branches like Mt Enna Branch dictates the placement of older homesteads and crossing points throughout the quadrangle.
