2014 Map of Rincon

About this map

The town of Rincon serves as a central hub in this survey, where the expanding residential grids meet the dense network of wetlands and creeks that drain toward the Savannah River. The map reveals a landscape defined by its historic cemeteries, including Rincon Cem, Gnann Cem, and Rahn Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Effingham County. To the south, residential developments such as Willowpeg, Silverwood Plantation, and Goshen Villa show the late-century suburban growth pattern pushing into former agricultural or timber lands. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is dominated by the intricate hydrology of the river basin, featuring numerous named points like Big Kiffer Point and Glovers Point, along with backwater features like Coleman Lake and Fox Lake. This map captures the transition from the concentrated settlement at Birds to the more modern corridors defined by Ga-21.
