About this map

Savannah River bottomlands and the agrarian uplands of Burke County define this 1920 survey. The landscape is interconnected by historic transit corridors like the Old Savannah Road and the Augusta Waynesboro Road, which support a dense network of early 20th-century rural communities. Small settlements such as Greens Cut and Alexander appear alongside several institutional landmarks, including Bottsford School & Church and Jobs Spring Church.

Industry and river access are centered around landings like Shell Bluff Landing and Hancock Landing, while inland water power is represented by Hatchers Mill on McBean Creek. The presence of numerous schools like Red Hill School and Monteulm School reflects the distributed social structure of the era. This document preserves the locations of numerous family-named landmarks and local crossroads before modern land-use changes altered the rural character of the Georgia-South Carolina border.
