No Specifics On Maps In Georgia South Carolina Border Case
University of Georgia geographer Louis DeVorsey admitted in federal court that few maps from 1787 support Georgia's border claim with South Carolina. He testified that early maps rarely show a Savannah River branch north of Barnwell and Islands and that most maps suggest the disputed areas were water surrounds. Georgia lawyers argue the areas were islands when the 1787 Treaty of Beaufort defined the boundary.
