The Savannah River corridor and its complex network of islands and cuts define the eastern boundary of this coastal region, where industrial development and historic transport lines converge. Small settlements like Meinhard and Monteith sit along the rail and road corridors northwest of Savannah, while Port Wentworth serves as a central hub between the river and the inland marshes. The landscape is characterized by a series of significant water features and islands, including Argyle Island, Hog Marsh Island, and Onslow Island, separated by channels such as Middle River and Front River. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Cherokee Hill Cem and Fairlawn Cem, while the modern infrastructure of Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport and the growth of Garden City and Pooler illustrate the late-century expansion of the Georgia coast near the South Carolina border.
