1965 Map of Mechanic Hill

About this map

The Savannah River defines the border between Georgia and South Carolina in this survey, winding past the industrial developments south of Augusta. The landscape is a mix of riverine lowlands and rural uplands, where the Central of Georgia railroad cuts a straight line through the terrain. Evidence of the area's mid-century shift toward heavy industry is clear, most notably at the Industrial Waste Pond and nearby sewage facilities, which contrast with the older agricultural and ecclesiastical patterns of the region. Scattered throughout the southern reaches are vital genealogical landmarks, including Fielding Springs Ch, Union Cem, and Piney Grove Ch. The presence of the Bennock Millpond on Bennock Mill Creek suggests an earlier era of water-powered industry that preceded the modern infrastructure at Nixon and Mechanic Hill.
