Richard B. Russell Lake

Richard B. Russell Lake (known to locals as simply "Lake Russell") is a reservoir created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers by construction of Richard B. Russell Dam on the Savannah River bordering Elbert County, Georgia and Abbeville and Anderson counties in South Carolina. The lake impounds primarily the Savannah River but also includes Beaverdam Creek on the Georgia side and Rocky River on the South Carolina side. Filling of the lake began in October 1983, and was completed in December 1984 for a full pool elevation of 475 feet (145 m). Lake levels do not change much because the lake is designed to operate within 5 feet (1.5 m) of full pool compared to Hartwell and Thurmond, whose 35 feet (11 m) and 18 feet (5.5 m) of conservation storage respectively causes their levels to change more dramatically. This causes the lake to always look full. Named for U.S. Senator Richard Brevard Russell, Jr., the lake consists of 26,650 acres (108 km2) of water and 540 miles (870 km) of shoreline. Unlike its neighbors Lake Hartwell to the north and Lake Strom Thurmond to the south, federal regulations prohibit private use of the public lands surrounding Lake Russell. Archaeology The area flooded by the lake covered several areas of archaeological significance. There was a significant effort to explore and excavate these sites before filling the lake. Sites include Millwood Plantation, Fort Independence and a Native American village and mound. The lake also covered the historic Georgia-Carolina Memorial Bridge which was not demolished but remains intact beneath the lake. Recreation Since it was constructed after 1974, the Corps of Engineers prohibits exclusive private use of the lake's shoreline. As a result, the shoreline of the lake is almost completely undeveloped with the exception of some state parks and day-use areas. The Corps owns a 300-foot (91 m) buffer zone all the way around the 540 miles (870 km) of shoreline to mitigate the loss of habitat due to the creation of the lake. The natural shoreline creates a strikingly different feel and look to the lake when compared to Thurmond and Hartwell which have highly developed shorelines.

Rockwell Universalist Church

The Rockwell Universalist Church near Winder, Georgia is a rural church built in 1881 in simple Greek Revival style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1985. It was deemed architecturally significant as a "good example" of its type of post-Civil War rural churches, being a one-room wood-frame church with no ornamentation and Greek Revival styling. It was also deemed significant as one of few Universalist churches ever to exist in the State of Georgia. Its NRHP nomination posits that Universalists, though the fifth largest religious denomination in the U.S. before the American Civil War, "did not prosper in Georgia due to their lack of organization and official discipline...[they] were overwhelmed by the popularity of the Baptists and Methodists who comprised over 90 percent of those identifying church affiliation in 1850 in Georgia."

ГАЕС Роккі-Маунтін

ГАЕС Роккі-Маунтін — гідроакумулювальна електростанція у штаті Джорджія (Сполучені Штати Америки). Нижній резервуар створили на річці Хелс-Крік, правій притоці Armuchee Creek, котра в свою чергу є правою притокою річки Oostanaula (права твірна Куси — правого витоку річки Алабама, яка дренує південне завершення Аппалачів та впадає до бухти Мобіл-Бей на узбережжі Мексиканської затоки). В межах проекту долину Хелс-Крік перекрили греблею висотою 37 метрів та довжиною 274 метри, котра виконана переважно як кам'яно-накидна/земляна споруда, але також включає бетонну водопропускну секцію. Крім того, для закриття сідловин знадобились дві насипні дамби. Разом вони утримують резервуар з площею поверхні 2,4 км2 та об'ємом 23,2 млн м3. Для поповнення ресурсу під час посушливого сезону створили два допоміжні сховища на лівих притоках Хелс-Крік (одна впадає нижче за основну греблю, а друга просто до нижнього резервуару). Перше утримується за допомогою греблі та трьох дамб і має площу поверхні 1,6 км2, тоді як друге створене за допомогою однієї греблі і має площу 0,8 км2. Разом ці допоміжні водойми додають об'єм у 7,2 млн м3. Верхній резервуар створили над долиною Хелс-Крік у витоку струмка Роккі-Маунтін-Крік (ліва притока Лавендер-Крік, котрий так само впадає праворуч до Armuchee Creek). Ця водойма оточена кільцевою кам'яно-накидною/земляною греблею висотою 37 метрів та довжиною 1198 метрів і має площу поверхні 0,89 км2 при об'ємі 13,1 млн м3. Заповнення верхнього резервуару потребує 7,2 години роботи станції у насосному режимі. Через тунель та напірний водовід довжиною 0,8 км ресурс подається до машинного залу, де встановлені три оборотні турбіни типу Френсіс. Первісно вони мали потужність по 22 МВт, а після завершеної у 2016 році модернізації досягли показника у 345 МВт. Це обладнання працює при напорі до 210 метрів. Будівництво станції почалось у 1978-му, проте було заморожене з 1984 по 1989 роки. Введення ГАЕС в експлуатацію припало на 1995 рік. Примітки
Roebling Road Raceway

Roebling Road Raceway, formerly Savannah International Raceway, is a 2.02-mile (3.25 km) road racing course located just outside Bloomingdale, Georgia, United States. Opened in 1959, Roebling Road is relatively unique amongst racetracks in that it lacks any accommodations for spectators; there are no grandstands, no picnicking areas, nor any other sort of viewing facilities, and to enter the track it is necessary to drive across the racing surface. The track was designed by John Rueter and held its first Sports Car Club of America event June 11–12, 1960. The track was financed by and named after SCCA supporter Robert Roebling, great-grandson of John A. Roebling. Roebling Road hosts events more than 300 days a year. Events range from media, pro teams testing cars, club racing, and performance driving education events. Club races include the SCCA, the BMW Car Owners Club of America, the Porsche Club of America, the National Auto Sport Association, North American Sports Car Association, and the Vintage Drivers Club of America. The track is used by cars, motorcycles and WKA karts. The PBS television series MotorWeek records its winter track-testing segments at Roebling Road. The track is a very safe and forgiving track, making it ideal to learn on. It is characterized by large amounts of run-off room and only a single wall. Roebling is unusual in that it is owned by a local racing club, the Buccaneer Region of the SCCA. Roebling is a not-for-profit, non-spectator oriented track. Roebling hosts several driver's education oriented events each month. The format varies with the hosting organization. There are relatively expensive events where the organizers provide high performance cars and, there are significantly less expensive events where drivers bring their own cars. As drivers work their way up in skill level, they are allowed to drive on the track "solo". The fastest lap ever recorded on an official weekend is 59.368 by Hans Bliss (Bliss Racing) on 1/12/2025 during a NASA event on his prototype Stohr WF1.

Sacred Heart Cultural Center

The Sacred Heart Cultural Center, originally known also as Sacred Heart Catholic Church, is a historic events center and former Catholic parish church located in Augusta, Georgia. The church was established to accommodate Augusta's growing Catholic immigrant population, which had outgrown the St. Patrick parish by the 1870s. History In 1874, Father Theodore Bulter acquired land for the new church and a Christian school intended to serve people of all denominations. Initially, temporary structures were built, and Jesuit priests were brought in to lead the new parish. Construction of the permanent church building began in 1897, and the first mass was held on December 2, 1900. Sacred Heart Catholic Church was designed in a cruciform Romanesque style, with ornate features including an Italian marble high altar in the apse and two side altars in the transept. The walls of the structure were heavily adorned with stained glass from Munich, totaling 94 windows. Six rose windows dominate the ends of transept, and the aisle windows depict various saints and Catholic symbols. The nave features a barrel vault ceiling, and a small dome crowns the crossing of the transept. The facade of the church is distinguished by round towers with conical spires, and three stone arches frame the main entrances. The church is also notable for its intricate brickwork, which includes 15 different types of brick. The church served the Augusta community for 70 years until it was closed in 1971 due to escalating maintenance costs and a declining population in the surrounding neighborhood. This decline was accelerated by two major floods of the Savannah River and the development of modern suburban, which drew residents away from downtown Augusta. While the building was vacant, it suffered from vandalism and was near destruction. Sacred Heart was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In 1987, the Knox Foundation undertook a renovation of the building, transforming it into a vibrant cultural center for the city. Today, the former rectory and school building house various non-profit organizations and arts groups. Events The Sacred Heart Cultural Center hosts special events such as wine festivals, choral concerts, Christmas events, and an annual garden festival. Artwork is exhibited on a regular basis in the Art Gallery.

Saint Mary's Catholic Church (Rome, Georgia)

Saint Mary's Catholic Church is a parish of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta. The church is located at 911 North Broad Street in downtown Rome, Georgia, US. History The first church was built in 1874 on East First Street. It was a simple wooden building with a small steeple that served the congregation for 45 years. The church had no resident priest and was served by a visiting priest from the Atlanta Archdiocese. By the 1900s, the Catholic population outgrew the building and the congregation started seeking a new site. The present church was built in 1930 on North Broad Street at a cost of thirty thousand dollars. Designed by a Benedictine monk and architect from Belmont Abbey in North Carolina, it is inspired by Gothic forms and monastic simplicity. Architecture The present church was designed by a Benedictine monk and architect from Belmont Abbey in North Carolina. He chose a Gothic style with a plain stucco finish and two large wooden front doors. Over the front doors, there is a large crucifix and the coat of arms of the Archbishop of Atlanta inscribed with the words, Venite Adoremus ("O Come Let Us Adore"). The church went through a large expansion in 1998 and the original plans that called for the tall steeple and large stained glass windows were finally completed. Transepts were added to the church to double its seating capacity, a new Parish Center was constructed which contains administrative and religious education offices, and a new organ was installed. The sanctuary was completed with the addition of the high altar. The high altar was designed and constructed in Italy in 1930 for the student chapel of Campion Jesuit High School in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. However, this original chapel was closed, and the altar was saved from destruction when it was purchased by St. Mary's in 1995. It was dismantled and cataloged for shipment to Saint Mary's, and in 1998, it was brought to Rome and installed by artisans specializing in marble reconstruction. The Last Supper is intricately carved in the lower half of the high altar. References Knowles, Amy (3 August 1997).

Sapelo Island Light

Sapelo Island Lighthouse is a lighthouse in Georgia, United States, near the southern tip of Sapelo Island. It is the nation's second-oldest brick lighthouse and the oldest survivor among lighthouses designed by Winslow Lewis. The lighthouse, oil building, the cistern, the footing of the 1905 light, the ruins of the fortification, and the associated range light were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The lighthouse is a 65-foot (20 m) brick structure, about 30 feet (9.1 m) in diameter at the base and 12 feet (3.7 m) at the top. Its brick walls are several feet thick at the bottom, tapering to about two feet thick at the top. History Sapelo Island Lighthouse was built in 1820. It was designed and built by Winslow Lewis. It had fifteen Lewis lamps with 16 in (41 cm) reflectors. In the 1850s, the tower was raised by 10 ft (3.0 m) and a fourth-order Fresnel lens was installed in 1854. The lens was removed during the Civil War. It was extensively repaired after an 1867 storm and relit in 1868. The tower was damaged by a strong hurricane in 1898. A pyramidal 100 ft (30 m) skeletal tower lighthouse with a third-order Fresnel lens was built in 1905. This tower was dismantled and relocated in 1934 to South Fox Island, Michigan. The 1820 lighthouse was inactive from 1905 to 1998, when it was restored to its 1890 appearance and was relit (with a modern light and lens). Is now maintained by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and is unofficial.
