About this map

The U S Reservation Savannah River Plant (Atomic Energy Commission) dominates this mid-1960s survey, illustrating the significant federal footprint in the Central Savannah River Area. This high-security industrial landscape is defined by its hydrology, with numerous tributaries such as Upper Three Runs, Fourmile Branch, and Indian Grave Branch flowing toward the Savannah River at the Georgia border. The map documents the intersection of modern nuclear-age industry and the older rail infrastructure of the Atlantic Coast Line, which cuts across the reservation boundary. While typical rural landmarks like schools or churches are absent due to the restricted nature of the site, the detailed plotting of watercourses like Steel Creek and Pen Branch provides a clear view of the natural terrain preserved within the facility's perimeter during the height of the Cold War.
