1980 Map of Richmond Hill
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Ogeechee River and Canoochee River define this Georgia landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands including Lost Swamp and Poplar Swamp. The 1980 survey reveals a coastal plain heavily influenced by both military land use and historical agricultural drainage. A significant portion of the western territory is occupied by the Fort Stewart Military Reservation, while the eastern side near Richmond Hill shows an intricate system of old rice-field infrastructure, with named waterways like Peachtree Canal and Valambrosia Canal carving through the riverside flats. Genealogists can locate numerous rural landmarks such as Byran Neck Ch, Burnt Church, and Strathy Hall Cem. The presence of the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad and the U. S. Department of Agriculture Plant Introduction Garden highlights the area's mix of industrial transport and specialized land management during this era.
