2011 Map of Rincon

About this map

Rincon serves as a central hub for Effingham County in this early 21st-century record, where residential expansion meets the winding wetlands of the Savannah River. The map reveals a landscape defined by its riparian geometry, with named landings like Newington Landing and Symons Landing marking historic access points to the river's eastern edge. A high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Gnann Cemetery, Rahn Cemetery, and Jones Cemetery, provides critical evidence for genealogists and local historians tracing the settlement patterns of this coastal Georgia region. The transition from established neighborhoods in the south, such as Silverwood Plantation and Goshen Villa, to the northern reaches near Birds illustrates the persistent balance between modern development and the natural drainage of Ebenezer Creek and Sweigoffer Creek. Point-of-land features such as Big Kiffer Point and Lady Washington Point further delineate the river's intricate path.
