About this map

Riceboro and its surrounding wetlands occupy this coastal Georgia landscape, where the tides of the North Newport River and South Newport River reach deep into the interior. The settlement pattern follows the high ground between these drainages, with small communities like Retreat and Lecount connected by a network of rural routes such as Sandy Run Rd and Lecount Rd. Historical transit and industry are marked by Brewsters Siding and the Chemical Plant Rd, indicating the mix of traditional transport and modern enterprise in the region.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered burial grounds of Pando Cemetery and Davis Cemetery, which sit near the winding banks of Payne Creek. Further south, the landscape fragments into coastal features like Horsepen Island and Black Island, illustrating the complex geography of the Georgia lowcountry near South Newport. The proximity of Fort Point suggests the area's long-standing strategic value along these navigable waterways.
