2014 Map of Brier Creek Landing

About this map

The Savannah River defines this stretch of the border between Georgia and South Carolina, its serpentine meanders carving a complex landscape of bluffs and oxbow lakes. Important river access points such as Red Bluff Landing, Cohens Bluff Landing, and Brier Creek Landing anchor the geography, serving as historical touchpoints for local navigation and commerce. The interior is characterized by a network of named water bodies and drainage features, including Blue Lake, Conyers Lake, and the winding course of Brier Creek, which meets the river near Brannons Bridge. Local family names and landmarks are preserved through features like Lee Cem and Trinity Cem, while colorful terrain labels such as Whirligig Point, Saucy Boy Point, and Fridays Dream Point speak to the folk history and navigational challenges of the river's many bends. This 2014 survey captures the persistence of these rural landings and the shifting wetlands of the Savannah riverfront.
