About this map

The Savannah River serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, where the historic core of Savannah meets an intricate network of islands and marshy channels. The city’s distinct layout is visible through landmarks like Telfair Square and the riverfront Factors Walk, while its academic legacy is anchored by Savannah State University and Armstrong Atlantic State University. The geography is defined by a series of significant landforms including Hutchinson Island and Dutch Island, separated by the Wilmington River and Back River.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the footprints of established neighborhoods like Carver Village, Tatumsville, and Bona Bella. The map captures a high density of burial grounds, notably the sprawling Bonaventure Cemetery and the centrally located Colonial Park Cemetery. Industrial and maritime features, such as the Shubra Canal and Causton Bluff, illustrate the complex relationship between the city's growth and its low-lying riverine environment.
