1997 Map of Richmond Hill
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
The Ogeechee River and Canoochee River define this coastal Georgia landscape, where tidal marshes and complex water systems intersect with local settlements. Significant engineering is evident in the dense network of drainage channels such as the Peachtree Canal, Valambrosia Canal, and Red Dock Canal, which reflect the historic agricultural and timber-based economy of the region. Near the center, Richmond Hill serves as a primary hub, surrounded by smaller locales like Brisbon, Port Royal, and Daniel. The area is notably dense with genealogical sites, including several family and community burial grounds such as Bethlehem Cem, Strathy Hall Cem, and Patterson Cem. A portion of the Fort Stewart Military Reservation occupies the western sector, while the Belfast Siding and Old Railroad Grade trace the legacy of local rail transport through the Poplar Swamp.
