1892 Map of Mc Cormick

About this map

The Savannah River serves as the central artery of this late 19th-century landscape, acting as both a vital resource and a border between Georgia and South Carolina. This reconnaissance survey documents the river-and-rail economy before the era of modern dams, highlighting a network of essential crossings such as Barksdale Ferry, Ferguson Ferry, and Kilkrase Ferry. These transit points, along with riverside landings like Willow Landing, illustrate how commerce moved through the borderlands of Lincoln and Edgefield counties during the 1890s.
