About this map

Blythe Island and Hermitage Island define the intricate estuarine landscape of this coastal Georgia region, where the Turtle River and Buffalo River converge. The intricate network of tidal creeks and marshes, including Pyles Marsh and Dillard Creek, surrounds established residential pockets and historical landmarks. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, from the larger Palmetto Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery in the east to smaller family and community grounds like Maxwells Cemetery, Scarlett Cemetery, and Allen Memorial Cemetery.

Transport and commerce center around the intersection at Dock Junction and the crossings at Joseph B Mercer Bridge. The transition from rural coastal tracts to suburban growth is evident in areas like Ridgewood Plantation, Southern Junction, and Clover Heights. Historic points along the riverbanks, such as Fancy Bluff and Hermitage Point, suggest a long-standing relationship between the community and the water, while recreation is noted at Camp Tolochee and Timber Landing.
