Doug:
Many years ago there was a huge effort to record mills in the Richard B.
Russell Reservoir in Georgia and South Carolina. (Also in the Wallace/Lake
Oconee Reservior in Georgia, but I think that was a Georgia Power
undertaking). I just ran across a HABS/HEER survey which included really
nice drawings of Pearl Mill, which, if memory serves would be about the
right date and I remember the boiler supports. It was at the State Archives
in Atlanta.
I know there is also a report on excavations of a bunch of smaller mills.
The following is for an interim report I have but there should be a final
and perhaps additional work.

Reservior. Submitted to the Division of Archaeological Services, Atlanta.

Sorry don't have exact citations for any of the other work. Good Luck
