1920 Map of Limerick

About this map

Low-lying coastal plains and the dense riverine network of the Georgia coast define this 1920s survey. The landscape is dominated by the Cannochee River and Ogeechee River to the north, flowing toward the Medway R. and the tidal reaches of Dutchman Bay. Settlement patterns are heavily influenced by the intersecting paths of the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line, which support a chain of small communities including Fleming, Limerick, and Belfast. Along the coast, the defensive position of Fort Morris stands near the historic settlement of Sunbury, overlooking the East Channel. Further inland, the presence of the H. & D. Lumber Co. R. R. near Riceboro indicates the importance of the timber industry to the local economy during this era, while landmarks like Midway Ch. and the Isle of Wight serve as established nodes of community life.
