About this map

The Savannah River corridor and its intricate network of coastal waterways dominate this landscape during the mid-1990s. The map illustrates a complex hydraulic environment where the Front River, Middle River, and Back River diverge around substantial marshy landmasses like Argyle Island and Onslow Island. Industrial activity and civic infrastructure cluster around Port Wentworth and Garden City, including the Savannah Filtration Plant and a prominent Powerplant near the riverbanks.

Genealogists and local historians can find several small settlements and community landmarks tucked away from the main river frontage, such as Meinhard and Monteith. The area is dotted with historic congregational sites like Houston Ch and North Salem Ch, along with the Cherokee Hill Cem. Transport patterns are defined by the convergence of the Old Augusta Road and the Port Wentworth Junction rail lines, highlighting the region's importance as a transit hub between the Savannah Municipal Airport and the South Carolina border.
