About this map

The Savannah River defines the border between Georgia and South Carolina on this quadrangle, flanked by the sprawling timberlands of the Sumter National Forest. The landscape transition from the river bluffs to the residential growth of Martinez is evident in the late 1970s revisions, where suburban expansion near Belair Road and Evans Road meets older agricultural and industrial sites. Infrastructure along the waterway is substantial, featuring the Stevens Creek Dam and the Augusta City Lock and Dam, which facilitated regional power and navigation.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous community landmarks, from the Abilene Ch and its accompanying Abilene Cem to the isolated Poverty Hill and Morgana settlements. Transport history is anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which passes through Griffith Siding and Lamkin. Cultural footprints are also notable, with the Augusta National Golf Club occupying the southeastern corner of the sheet.
