1980 Map of Limehouse

About this map

The Savannah National Wildlife Refuge dominates this 1980s orthophotomap, showing a complex landscape of wetlands and managed waterways along the Georgia-South Carolina border. The map captures a transitional era for Jasper County where traditional rural settlements like Pritchard and Limehouse sit alongside large-scale conservation efforts. Family history and local heritage are well-preserved through numerous named burial sites, including Chisolm Cem, Garret Cem, and New Garret Cem, alongside several community pillars like Mt Olive Ch and Macedonia Ch. The terrain is defined by the heavy presence of water, from the broad Savannah River and Little Back River to the dense Monkey John Swamp. Infrastructure is represented by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and roads like Cook Landing Road, which provide access to landings and remote facilities such as the Radio Facility.
