1965 Map of Jackson

About this map

The Savannah River winds along the western edge of this mid-1960s survey, marking the boundary between South Carolina and Georgia. This area is dominated by the massive U S Reservation Savannah River Plant, a restricted industrial zone that reshaped the local geography during the Cold War. North of the reservation, the town of Jackson serves as a primary hub, alongside smaller settlements like Kathwood, Hankinson, and Cowden. The landscape is a mix of agricultural clearings and dense woods, dotted with rural spiritual centers such as Matlock Ch and Thomas Grove Ch. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain, paralleling the river's path. Further south, the river creates complex waterways like Spanish Cut and Holmes Dead River, while the Rhodes Mound stands as a notable landmark in the floodplain, hinting at deeper layers of local history.
