Riceboro stands at the northern edge of this coastal landscape where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts a straight path south toward the MC Intosh Co line. This 1980 orthophotomap provides a rare hybrid view of the Georgia lowcountry, combining traditional topographic contours with aerial imagery that reveals the vast, saturated expanses of Bull Town Swamp and Mortar Swamp. These wetlands dictate the settlement patterns, forcing small communities like Lecount, Ponsell, and Wayland to occupy the higher, drier ground between the drainage basins of the North Newport River and the South Newport River.
