The Ogeechee River and Canoochee River define this low-lying coastal landscape where the borders of Bryan and Chatham counties meet. Modern development in Richmond Hill and Georgetown is juxtaposed against the vast swampy woodlands of Fort Stewart and the watery expanse of Lost Swamp. Numerous historical burial grounds, including Bethlehem Cem and Strathy Hall Cem, are preserved near the riverbanks, marking the sites of older coastal settlements. The intricate network of the Peachtree Canal, Valambrosia Canal, and Elbow Canal suggests a history of landscape modification for drainage or transport through the tidal marshes near Ford Island. This 2024 survey documents the dense subdivision growth expanding from Savannah toward the surrounding rural hamlets like Brisbon and Daniel.
