About this map

Augusta Regional at Bush Field and the meandering curves of the Savannah River define the northern landscape of this Richmond County region. The terrain transitions from the suburban edges of Augusta and Goshen Plantation into the low-lying wetlands and oxbows typical of the river valley, including features like Hardens Dead River and Twiggs Dead River. The river's influence is evident in the numerous water bodies such as Horseshoe Lake and the New Savannah Bluff Pool, where the border between Georgia and South Carolina follows the water's shifting course.

Industrial and municipal infrastructure is prominent near Nixon, marked by a series of wastewater treatment ponds, while rural heritage persists to the south. Small settlements like Mechanic Hill, Tahoma, and Walkinshaw are scattered across the rolling hills. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial sites, including Union Cem, Twiggs Cem, Johnson Cem, and Fulcher Cem, which sit alongside historic water features like Bennock Millpond and Little McBean Cr.
