2024 Map of Riceboro

About this map

Riceboro stands at the heart of this coastal Georgia landscape, where the tides of the Riceboro Creek and North Newport River dictate the local geography. The map reveals a transition from managed timberlands and swamps to established coastal settlements. Small communities like Retreat and South Newport are connected by a network of historic routes, including Barrington Ferry Rd and Old Hwy 17 NE. The presence of Pando Cem and Davis Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The terrain is defined by its low-lying features, most notably Big Mortar Swamp and Bull Town Swamp, while raised areas such as Horsepen Island and Black Island punctuate the wetlands. Near the confluence of the river systems, Fort Point marks a strategic location along the winding South Newport River.
