1958 Map of Meldrim

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Walthour Swamp and a complex network of dark-water drainages dominate this coastal Georgia landscape, where the boundary between Effingham and Chatham counties follows the meandering Little Ogeechee River. The settlement at Meldrim serves as a local hub, anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and the Meldrim Cemetery. Moving east toward Bloomingdale, the topography is defined by significant wetlands like Hardin Swamp and Horning Swamp, illustrating the difficult terrain faced by early road builders. The presence of rural institutions such as Marlow School, Bethesda Church, and Miller Chapel Church indicates a dispersed agricultural community connected by historical routes like the Old St Augustine Road. Surveyed in the late 1950s with mid-1970s revisions, the map also captures the Pipe Makers Canal and several Artesian Wells, highlighting the local management of the region's abundant water resources.
