2020 Map of Burroughs

About this map

Fort McAllister stands prominently near Genesis Point along the sweeping bends of the Ogeechee River, marking a landscape where maritime history and modern development meet. This coastal Georgia region is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the Grove River and Little Ogeechee River, which carve out numerous islands such as Savage Island and Steadman Island. The map documents the northern expansion of suburban residential areas like Georgetown and Windsor Forest, contrasting with the more established village character of Vernonburg and Nicholsonville. Academic and memorial sites are well-represented, from the campus of Armstrong State University to the Wild Heron Cem. The transition from the dense street grids of Savannah to the marshy periphery at Coffee Bluff and Myrtle Grove illustrates the geographic constraints of the Lowcountry's tidal environment.
