1964 Map of Evans

About this map

The Savannah River forms the state boundary here, winding past Germain Island and the southwestern edge of the Sumter National Forest. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of Kiokee Creek and Uchee Creek, which flow through a region of scattered rural settlements and historic family landmarks. This 1980 photorevised edition illustrates the early growth of Evans, showing its expansion along Belair Road toward the intersection with Owens Road. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as the Snellings Memorial Acre (Cemetery) and Old Avery Cem. Transport patterns are marked by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and established thoroughfares like Old Petersburg Road and Furrys Ferry Road, reflecting the transition from traditional ferry crossings and rail stops like Woodlawn Station to modern suburban development.
