1919 Map of Egypt

About this map

Springfield and Guyton anchor this survey of Effingham County, Georgia, just after the First World War. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Central Of Georgia and Savannah And Atlanta railroads, which facilitated the movement of timber and agricultural products through the coastal plain. The Ogeechee River forms the western boundary, its winding course marked by several family-named landings such as Alderman Landing and Taylor Landing. Small rural communities like Egypt, Marlow, and Pineora are scattered along the rail lines, each serving as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. The placement of Corinth Church, Bethel Church, and numerous rural schoolhouses including Morgan School and Dasher School reveals the social organization of the county's rural districts. Water features like Great Bay and Jack Creek highlight the low-lying, often swampy terrain that influenced the original layout of the Augusta and Savannah Road.
