1964 Map of Martinez

About this map

The Savannah River forms the central spine of this 1964 survey, defining the border between Georgia and South Carolina as it flows past the Sumter National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the massive Stevens Creek Dam and its associated power plant, while further downstream, the Augusta City Lock and Dam diverts water into the historic Augusta Canal. This period shows the transition of Martinez and Evans from rural crossroads toward more developed suburbs of Augusta. Local community life is rooted in numerous country churches and schools, such as Abilene Ch and Martinez Sch. Transport infrastructure is prominent, with the Georgia Railroad cutting through Lamkin and Martinez, and the Atlantic Coast Line running near the river. In the southeast corner, the world-famous Augusta National Golf Club is clearly marked, along with the adjacent neighborhood of National Hills.
