1892 Map of Mc Cormick

About this map

Appling serves as the focal point in this 1890s survey, anchoring a region defined by the complex river systems and early rail corridors of Georgia and South Carolina. The Savannah River and its many crossings, including Rimson Ferry and Barksdale Ferry, emphasize a landscape where water transit remained vital even as the Savannah Valley Railroad began to shape the movement of goods. Local commerce is evident in the numerous water-powered sites such as Searle Mill and Cade Mill, which were central to the agricultural life of Abbeville and Lincoln counties.
