About this map

Rincon serves as the primary residential center in this part of Effingham County, showing a well-defined grid of streets such as Long Bridge Rd and Ebenezer Rd that connect the town to outlying areas like Birds. The map provides a detailed view of local genealogy through numerous family-named burial grounds, including Gnann Cem, Rahn Cem, and Jones Cem.

East of the settlement, the landscape transforms into a complex network of wetlands and tidal fingers branching off the Savannah River. Landmarks like Big Kiffer Point and Gum Stump Point define the Georgia and South Carolina border, where the river meets a maze of named waterways including Mill Creek, Ebenezer Creek, and Abercorn Creek. This geography highlights the contrast between the expanding upland residential developments and the preserved riverine ecology of the coastal plain.
