2014 Map of Richmond Hill

About this map

The Ogeechee River and its confluence with the Canoochee River define the intricate waterways south of Savannah, where the boundary between Chatham County and Bryan County follows the river's winding path. This coastal landscape is marked by a complex system of historical drainage and navigation channels, including Peachtree Canal, Valambrosia Canal, and Elbow Canal, which surround Ford Island. The settlement pattern centers on Richmond Hill, with smaller community nodes at Georgetown, Burroughs, and Brisbon. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding local burial grounds, showing Bethlehem Cem, Cherry Hill Cem, and the uniquely named Burnt Church Cem near the southern edge. The Kings Ferry Bridge provides a vital crossing point on the Coastal Highway, linking the riverbanks near Port Royal and the marshes of Ogeechee Neck.
