About this map

The Ogeechee River and Savannah River define the eastern and western boundaries of this low-lying Effingham County landscape as it appeared during the early 1940s. The settlement pattern is anchored by the Central of Georgia railroad, which links the towns of Guyton, Pineora, and Marlow in the south. To the north, a complex network of historic transit routes like the Augusta and Savannah Road and Louisville Road connect rural communities including Egypt and Shawnee. This era of the region is characterized by small, decentralized schoolhouses and churches such as Riverside Sch, Dasher Sch, and Bethel Ch, which served dispersed agricultural families. Along the Ogeechee, specific river access points like Alderman Landing and Joe Cone Landing hint at the lingering importance of the river for local transport and commerce.
