1954 Map of Ridgeville

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Darien and its surrounding tidal marshes anchor this mid-century coastal survey, where the Altamaha River branches into a complex network of creeks and cuts. The landscape is defined by extensive wetlands like Buffalo Swamp and Chisholm Swamp, which isolate various landmasses including Potosi Island and Hird Island. Cultural history is prominently marked by the Tolomato Spanish Mission Ruins and several cemeteries such as St Andrews Cem and King Cem, suggesting deep roots in this Georgia maritime region. Infrastructure of the era is represented by the Coastal Highway and the Old Railroad Grade, which connect smaller settlements like Ridgeville and Meridian. Notable local landmarks include Edenfield Airport and the distinct industrial remnants signaled by the Chimney on Union Island.
