1958 Map of Meldrim

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The lowlands of the Effingham and Chatham county line are defined by the convergence of the Ogeechee River and a vast network of wetlands in the late 1950s. The settlement at Meldrim serves as a junction point where the Central of Georgia and Seaboard Air Line railroads run parallel across the southern reach of the map. This rail-dependent landscape is dotted with small rural landmarks, including the Marlow Sch and numerous community meeting points like Union Ch and Bethesda Ch. North of the tracks, the terrain is dominated by expansive swamp systems such as Walthour Swamp and Horning Swamp, reflecting the hydrologic complexity of the coastal plain. In the southeast, Bloomingdale sits near the Pipe Makers Canal, while isolated features like the Artesian Well and Gravel Hill Cem provide specific points of interest for local history researchers.
