The Savannah River corridor and its intricate network of coastal waterways define this landscape on the border of Georgia and South Carolina. This modern survey details a region shaped by its proximity to the Atlantic, where the river splits into the Front River, Middle River, and Little Back River. The settlement pattern follows the high ground between these wetlands and the CSX rail line, connecting historic nodes like Monteith, Meinhard, and Port Wentworth. The map reflects the area's continued role as a transportation and industrial hub, indicated by the presence of the Savannah Hilton/Head International Airport and the Georgia Institute of Technology Savannah Campus. Away from the main transit corridors, the geography remains characterized by large islands and named cuts, such as Onslow Island and Drakies Cut, which have long dictated local navigation and land use.
