2020 Map of Meldrim

About this map

Bloomingdale and Meldrim anchor the western edge of this coastal Georgia landscape, where suburban growth from Savannah and Pooler meets a complex network of wetlands. The terrain is defined by its hydrology, ranging from the Little Ogeechee River and the engineered Hardin Canal to the dense, low-lying reaches of Skinners Bay, Three Men Swamp, and Walthour Swamp. For those tracing local heritage, several small burial sites are documented, including Hester Cem, Meldrim Cem, and Old Hill Cem. The map illustrates a region in transition, where established rural roads like Noel C Conaway Rd and Jabez Jones Rd now serve expanding residential developments at the periphery of Port Wentworth. The drainage patterns of Saint Augustine Cr and Spirit Branch provide a glimpse into the natural barriers that have shaped the footprint of these communities west of the coast.
