2020 Map of Limehouse

About this map

Savannah NWR dominates the western reaches of this Lowcountry survey, where the Little Back River and Union River wind through a complex system of islands and wetlands. The map details the transition from the marshy environs of Argyle Island and Hog Island to the inland settlements of Limehouse and Levy. This area of Jasper and Beaufort counties is characterized by a high concentration of small, family-named burial grounds, including Chisolm Cem, Pelot Cem, and Hardy Cem, which offer significant genealogical value for local researchers. The landscape is interconnected by a network of historic plantation trails and modern corridors like Speedway Blvd. Strategic water passages such as the Lucknow Canal and Murray Hill Canal underscore the long-standing efforts to manage the tidal flow near Cross Tides and the Wright River, reflecting the region's agricultural and maritime legacy.
