1964 Map of Millett

About this map

The U S Reservation Savannah River Plant dominates the northwestern and eastern reaches of this landscape, reflecting the mid-century expansion of federal nuclear energy facilities along the Savannah River. The river itself creates a complex web of oxbows and backwaters, including Royal Lake and Queen Lake, bordering the state line between South Carolina and Georgia. This era shows a rural network of small landings and crossroads such as Little Hell Landing and Rock Fence Crossroads that remained vital to local transit even as large-scale government operations reshaped the surrounding area.
