1920 Map of Greens Cut

About this map

The Savannah River serves as the focal point for this 1920 survey of the Georgia-South Carolina border, where river landings like Shell Bluff Landing and Flowery Gap Landing once facilitated a thriving waterway economy. Inland, the landscape is defined by the winding course of Brier Creek, which is crossed by historic landmarks such as Rays Bridge and Thompsons Bridge. The settlement pattern of Burke County is clearly visible through a network of rural schools and churches, including the Bottsford School and Hatchers Church, situated along traditional routes like the Old Savannah Road.
