About this map

Windsor and the sprawling Savannah River Plant dominate this mid-1960s landscape along the border of Aiken and Barnwell counties. The northern half of the map retains its rural character, anchored by small settlements like Rosemary and Mt Beulah, where local congregations gathered at Rosemary Ch and Beulah Grove Ch. The influence of the Southern railroad line is evident, providing a transport corridor through Windsor toward the coast.

In contrast, the southern portion of the sheet is defined by the U S Reservation boundary, marking a significant shift in land use as the Atomic Energy Commission secured vast tracts for its operations. Waterways like Upper Three Runs Creek and Boggy Gut weave through the terrain, feeding into local landmarks such as Tarrants Millpond, Cooks Pond, and Dicks Pond. This survey effectively documents the intersection of traditional Carolina rural life with the industrial expansion of the Cold War era.
