About this map

The Savanna River site dominates this landscape along the border of Aiken and Barnwell counties. This area is characterized by a complex network of industrial water management and natural drainage, where Tinker Creek and Lower Three Runs feed into large-scale artificial reservoirs like Par Pond, Pond Five, and Pond B. The presence of smaller family landmarks such as Dorch Cemetery and Scott Cemetery offers a connection to the pre-industrial history of the land before its conversion for large-scale federal use. The topography reveals how these drainages, including Mill Creek and Fourmile Branch, were adapted into a regulated hydraulic system, creating a distinct environmental footprint where the natural hydrology of the South Carolina coastal plain meets modern industrial requirements.
