2014 Map of Riceboro

About this map

Riceboro and the winding corridor of the S Newport River anchor this 2014 study of the Georgia coast. The settlement pattern follows historical road networks and river bends, with clusters of development at South Newport and the inland hamlet of Crossroads. The landscape is defined by its transition from tidal waters to interior pine land, evidenced by features like Horsepen Island and Black Island surrounded by the river's meandering path. Local history is preserved in the location of Pando Cem and Davis Cem, while old thoroughfares like Barrington Ferry Rd and Hampton Ferry Rd hint at the area's maritime and ferry-dependent past. Near the northern edge, industrial infrastructure appears at Interstate Paper Rd, contrasting with the more traditional land use around Retreat and the riverfront at Fort Point.
