2011 Map of Guyton

About this map

The Ogeechee River snakes through this Georgia landscape, defining the western boundaries of rural Effingham County settlements in the early 21st century. The town of Guyton serves as the primary hub, where the Guyton Post Office and local streets like Magnolia St anchor the community near the Ferguson Cemetery. Moving south toward Pineora and Marlow, the terrain is characterized by a network of drainage creeks and historical family landmarks, including the Old Providence Cemetery and Elkins Cemetery. The river itself is a focal point for local geography, marked by distinct riverfront locations such as Saint Peters Bluff, Alderman Landing, and Horseshoe Bend. Transportation across these waters is facilitated by named structures like the Captain William Cone Bridge and the Doctor Floyd Bridge, which connect the scattered communities of Ivanhoe, Olney, and Hubert to the broader region via GA Highway 119.
