1948 Map of Limerick

About this map

The Canoochee River and Ogeechee River define the northern reaches of this coastal Georgia landscape, where tidal marshes and river networks shaped the region's development. In the southern sector, the historic settlement of Midway and the nearby Dorchester Academy stand as significant cultural landmarks amidst a terrain defined by Peacock Creek and the Medway River. The coastal economy of the late 1940s is visible in the operations at Sunbury, located near the Fort Morris (Abandoned) site, and the rail infrastructure of the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads which connected these inland communities to larger markets. Educational and religious life is well-documented through numerous community hubs like the George Washington Carver School and Day Memorial Church, while the northern area features the U S Dept of Agriculture Plant Introduction Garden and a State Fish Hatchery.
