About this map

The Savannah River meanders through this low-lying borderland between Jasper Co, South Carolina, and Effingham Co, Georgia. The river's historical path is traced by numerous oxbows and cutoffs like Old River, Gin Raw Lake, and Tew Lake. Settlement is concentrated on the higher ground flanking the river bottomlands, notably at Haddonville and Stillwell. For those tracing family histories, several small burial grounds are marked throughout the area, including Union Spring Cem and Pisgah Cem. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by water and timber, characterized by features like Sweet Leaf Swamp, Magnolia Ridge, and Sand Hills. Numerous family-named landmarks such as Bowl Maker Point, Zacharias Point, and Gnann Fishpond suggest a deep-rooted local history tied to the river's edge and its tributaries like Ebenezer Creek.
