About this map

The Savannah River divides this landscape, marking the boundary between Georgia and South Carolina as it flows past the Stevens Creek Dam. On the Georgia side, the suburban expansion of Martinez and Evans is evident, with residential development spreading toward the Augusta National Golf Club and the Augusta Corporate Boundary. The map captures a transition from the structured industry of the Augusta Canal and the Seaboard Coast Line to the more rural, wooded expanses of the Sumter National Forest in South Carolina.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous landmarks, including Abilene Cem, Hopewell Ch, and Big Stevens Creek Ch. The presence of Poverty Hill and Morgana highlights older settlement patterns that preceded the mid-century growth. Further inland, Johns Pond and Stewarts Ponds dot the terrain near the Perrin Sch, while the river's utility is underscored by the Power Plant and multiple gaging stations.
