1979 Map of Burroughs

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The tidal marshes and winding river channels of Chatham County dominate this orthophotomap, where the Ogeechee River and Little Ogeechee River converge toward the Atlantic. Along the northern edge, the transition from the runways of Hunter Army Airfield to the suburban expansion of Windsor Forest and Armstrong State College illustrates the late 20th-century growth of the Savannah area. In the lower reaches, the map detail captures the complex hydrology of Middle Marsh and various man-made waterways like the Southfield Canal and Walker Canal. Historically significant sites are scattered throughout the wetlands, including Fort McAllister overlooking the river bends. Settlement patterns are concentrated along high ground, with older communities like Burroughs and Nicholsonville standing alongside country landmarks such as Hawkins Chapel and the Wild Horn Cem.
