About this map

The Ogeechee River and Canoochee River define this coastal Georgia landscape, where tidal influences meet established settlements. Following the Seaboard Coast Line, the town of Richmond Hill stands as a central hub, surrounded by a complex network of man-made waterways including the Peachtree Canal, Valambrosia Canal, and Five Locks Canal. These features, along with numerous Artesian Wells, indicate a history of sophisticated water management for agricultural or industrial use.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as St Annes Ch, Bryan Neck Ch, and several family or community burial grounds including Strathy Hall Cem and Cherry Hill Cem. To the north, the Fort Stewart Military Reservation borders the meandering Clyde Creek, while the U S Dept of Agriculture Plant Introduction Garden near Burroughs highlights the area's specialized land use during the mid-20th century.
