1942 Map of Meldrim

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Ogeechee River defines the landscape of this coastal plain region, serving as the historical boundary between Bryan, Effingham, and Chatham counties. This 1942 compilation of earlier field surveys shows a transition from the riverine lowlands to a dense network of early 20th-century rail infrastructure. The Central of Ga. R. R. and Seaboard Air Line R. R. converge near the settlement of Meldrim, illustrating the area's importance as a transportation junction west of Savannah. Moving away from the rail corridors, the map reveals scattered rural communities such as Eden and Clyde, alongside notable landmarks like Zion Church and Miller Chapel. The presence of several artesian wells indicates the reliance on subterranean water sources in this environment, which is also shaped by the expansive Walloun Swamp and numerous creeks that feed into the Ogeechee.
