About the map:
The placement of these locations along with their descriptions are based on the "Shots In the Back" episodes.

Disclaimer: the base map is representative of modern Augusta, and many of the businesses noted on the base map were not there when the Riot took place in 1970. Locations of events may not be 100% accurate, but are intended to give an overview of where these events took place in comparison to each other.
