IMAGES OF OUR PAST - THIS PORTION OF THE 1805 MAP OF THE FIRST LAND DISTRICT OF WILKINSON (LATER LAURENS) COUNTY, SHOWS THE BEND OF THE OCONEE RIVER. BLACKSHEAR'S FERRY WOULD LATER BE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THE FIRST TWO BENDS. THE BLUE HIGHLIGHTED TRAIL IS THE LOWER UCHEE TRAIL WHICH CROSSED THE OCONEE RIVER AT AN ANCIENT INDIAN VILLAGE AND CARR'S BLUFF.
