2020 Map of Millett

About this map

The Savannah River defines the border between Georgia and South Carolina in this riverine landscape, where the shifting waters have created a complex network of oxbows and backwaters like Royal Lake and Queen Lake. Along the eastern banks in Allendale County, the settlements of Millett and Averill anchor a rural region characterized by timber and agricultural lands. The topography is dotted with family-named water bodies such as Duncan Pond and Billinger Pond, while distinct landforms like Clubhouse Ridge and Potlikker Hill rise above the swampy lowlands. Local history is preserved in sites like Corinth Cem and the Rock Fence Crossroads, reflecting a settlement pattern tied to the early roads and landings of the river valley. The intricate hydrography, including Mobley Swamp and Oliver Swamp, illustrates the seasonal flooding cycles that shaped the development of this South Carolina Lowcountry borderland.
