2017 Map of Blue Springs Landing

About this map

Blue Springs sits on the western bank of the Savannah River, marking a landscape where the waterway's erratic course defines the boundary between Georgia and South Carolina. This 2017 survey details a river system characterized by intricate bends and cutoffs, including Cornhouse Reach and the Mosquito Camp Cutoff. The terrain is dominated by wetland features and family-named landmarks such as Tiger Leap Bluff and Jacob Jump Point. Away from the river, the land transitions into a network of namesake ponds and swamps, such as Moon Change Swamp and Borken Pond. Genealogy researchers will find interest in the Bryan Cem located off Poor Robin Rd, while the placement of Boyd School Rd suggests the historical locations of local rural institutions. The map captures the complex hydrology of the Screven County lowlands before these seasonal water bodies and marshes shift over time.
