About this map

The Savannah River winds through this landscape, defining the state boundary between South Carolina and Georgia. Along its eastern banks, the communities of Millett and Averill anchor a rural region characterized by an intricate network of waterways and swampy lowlands. The terrain is marked by distinctive river features such as Devils Elbow, Little Hell Point, and the expansive Telfair Bay. These natural landmarks sit alongside long-standing local sites like Rock Fence Crossroads and the settlement at Hattieville.

Evidence of the area's social and commercial history is found in several family-named landmarks and local centers. Hills Store and Clubhouse Ridge stand as clear markers of community activity, while Corinth Cem and Furse Cem provide vital points for genealogical study. The presence of numerous ponds and lakes, including Cains Pond and Queen Lake, reflects a landscape deeply tied to its hydrology and the varying levels of the river basin.
