2020 Map of Riceboro

About this map

Riceboro serves as the focal point for this coastal Georgia landscape, where the tides of the North Newport River and South Newport River meet a dense network of wetlands. The map documents a rural corridor transitioning between the high grounds of Black Island and the expansive reaches of Big Mortar Swamp and Bull Town Swamp. In the north, industrial footprints such as Interstate Papermill Rd stand alongside long-established settlements like Retreat and Crossroads. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the identification of family-linked landmarks such as Pando Cem and Davis Cem, which provide a geographic anchor for the families of Liberty and McIntosh counties. The intricate road network, including names like Barrington Ferry Rd and Boy Scout Camp RD, illustrates how modern infrastructure has laid over the historical paths that once connected these riverine communities.
