About this map

Yamacraw Bluff and the historic grid of Savannah anchor this 2017 survey, which traces the city's complex urban expansion and its deep ties to the tidal river landscape. The city’s evolution is etched into the landscape through its many neighborhoods, from the historic core to Gordonston, Carver Village, and LePageville. These residential patterns are bordered by significant historic sites, including the Colonial Park Cem and the riverfront Bonaventure Cem.

The maritime and industrial character of the area is defined by the Savannah River and the massive infrastructure of the Eugene E Talmadge Memorial Bridge. Beyond the city, the map detail extends to the marshes and islands of the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge and the coastal defenses at Fort Pulaski National Monument, illustrating how the modern city remains inextricably linked to the waterways of the Wilmington River and the Intracoastal Waterway.
