1964 Map of Millett

About this map

The Savannah River defines the border between South Carolina and Georgia on this mid-century survey, winding through a complex network of wetlands and riverbottom land including Telfair Bay and The Big Bay. This section of the river is marked by several historical access points such as Steel Creek Landing, Little Hell Landing, and Stony Bluff Landing. To the north and east, the landscape transitions into agricultural and wooded plots dotted with small communities like Millett and Hattieville. Local centers of commerce and faith are well-documented, including Dunbar Store and Cains Store, alongside rural congregations at Speedwell Ch and Zion Grove Ch. The presence of the Savannah River Plant in the southern and western portions indicates the significant mid-century industrial footprint of the Atomic Energy Commission in this river corridor.
