About this map

The Savannah River carves a deep boundary between Georgia and South Carolina, anchoring this 2017 survey of the burgeoning suburbs northwest of Augusta. On the Georgia side, the densely populated corridors of Martinez and Columbia Heights show significant residential expansion near institutional landmarks like Georgia Military Coll Augusta. The landscape transitions from the urbanized sprawl of National Hills to the managed wilderness of the Sumter National Forest across the river in South Carolina.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in small family and community burial grounds, including Hopewell Cem, Taylor Cem, and Abilene Cem. The river geography is notably detailed, featuring the Four Mile Reach and the complex channels of Ninety Nine Islands. This edition documents the modern road network, from the busy Martintown Rd to the secluded Forks Trail, illustrating how the region's historic settlements like Morgana and Snead have evolved within the contemporary landscape.
