1980 Map of Limehouse

About this map

The Savannah National Wildlife Refuge dominates the western portion of this 1980 orthophotomap, showing a complex landscape of reclaimed rice fields and hydraulic controls such as the Lucknow Canal and Levee systems. This transition zone between the Little Back River and the mainland is marked by numerous family-named burial grounds and churches, reflecting the deep-rooted rural communities of Jasper County. Clusters of heritage sites like Pelot Cem, New Garret Cem, and Mt Olive Ch appear alongside the infrastructure of the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. The geography is defined by the slow movement of water through Monkey John Swamp and out toward the Wright River, while settlements such as Limehouse and Levy anchor the road network. These aerial-based details provide a clear view of the intersection between coastal wetlands and inland habitation during the late twentieth century.
