1964 Map of Girard NE

About this map

The U S Reservation Savannah River Plant Department of Energy dominates this landscape on the border of Barnwell and Allendale counties. This industrial and nuclear reservation is defined by its specialized infrastructure, including the U. S. Government Railroad and the expansive Par Pond reservoir system in the north. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of drainage systems such as Steel Creek, Meyers Branch, and Lower Three Runs. Amidst the heavy government footprint, subtle traces of earlier residency remain, most notably at the Walker Cem. The map illustrates the 1960s configuration of the facility, with later revisions highlighting the complex development of road networks and internal firebreaks like the Firebreak trail system. Transport is further facilitated by the Seaboard Coast Line, which skirts the southern edge of the primary reservation area.
