About this map

The Savannah River corridor at the Georgia-South Carolina border defines this landscape, where the shifting river channel has created a complex network of wetlands and backwaters. Notable hydrologic features include the Holmes Dead River, Berryhill Gut, and Wasteway Pond, alongside larger bodies like Coleman Lake and House Lake. The map highlights the historic importance of the river bluffs, specifically Silver Bluff and Lower Silver Bluff, which overlook the floodplain near the Richmond Co and Aiken Co boundary.

Settlement is concentrated around the town of Jackson, where a dense grid of streets such as Steed St, Foreman St, and Tisdale St Exd surround the Jackson Cem. To the northwest, smaller communities like Kathwood, Hankinson, and Cowden sit along the upland edges. The topography is marked by distinct rises like Browns Hill and cultural landmarks such as Rhodes Mound, indicating a long history of human activity along these fertile river terraces.
