2011 Map of Limerick SE

About this map

Sunbury and the surrounding marshlands of coastal Georgia are defined by a complex network of winding waterways including the Jerico River, Belfast River, and Laurel View River. This 2011 survey documents the rural character of the region just before the expansion of modern residential developments began to more heavily alter the landscape. Genealogical interest is particularly high in this area, with several significant burial sites documented, such as the Old Dorchester Cemetery and New Dorchester Cemetery near Isle of Wight. The settlement of Belfast sits at a strategic bend in the river, while further east, the Tivoli River Bridge carries Belfast Keller Rd across the namesake river. The intricate tidal creeks like Demeries Creek and Dickinson Creek illustrate the low-lying topography that has dictated local transportation and land use for generations, from the historical river-based economy to the modern road networks like Sunbury Rd and Laurel View Rd.
