About this map

Port Wentworth sits at a critical junction of industry and coastal geography, where the Savannah River splits into a complex network of channels and marsh islands. This 2011 topographic survey highlights the area's development, showing the expansion of the Savannah International Airport and the presence of the Georgia Tech University Savannah Campus. The river itself is a maze of named cuts and islands, including Rhodes Cut, Houstown Cut, and Onslow Island, reflecting the engineered navigation essential to the region's maritime economy.

Smaller settlements like Monteith and Meinhard flank the major transportation corridors, while the landscape preserves local history through landmarks such as the Cherokee Hill Cemetery and the site of Mulberry Grove. The map also captures the sprawling footprint of the Coastal Correctional Institution and several residential areas like Exley and Coldbrook, illustrating the mix of institutional, academic, and industrial land use that defines this corner of Chatham County.
