1957 Map of Burroughs

About this map

The tidal landscape of the Georgia coast is captured here during a period of transition, where established riverfront communities meet expanding infrastructure. Fort McAllister stands prominently on the south bank of the Ogeechee River, marking a strategic point where the river bends sharply before reaching Savage Island. To the north, the installation at Hunter Army Airfield and the suburban growth of Windsor Forest signal the mid-century development of the Savannah area, while older settlements like Burroughs and Vernonburg maintain their proximity to the network of waterways including the Grove River and Vernon River.
