1965 Map of Mechanic Hill

About this map

Savannah River meanders define the border between Georgia and South Carolina, shaping a landscape of oxbow lakes and wetlands such as Horseshoe Lake, Hardens Dead River, and Chickasaw Lake. Near Augusta, the terrain transitions from the aviation activities at Bush Field and industrial developments like the Industrial Waste Ponds to the rural heights of Mechanic Hill. The area is networked by the Central of Georgia railroad and historic thoroughfares including Tobacco Road and Waynesboro Road. Local life centers around a constellation of small churches and family burial grounds, including Fielding Springs Ch, Union Cem, and Crockett Cem. Along the southern reaches, McBean Creek and Bennock Millpond illustrate the drainage patterns of the coastal plain before the river winds past Barney Bluff and into the cypress-laden Hole-in-Swamp.
