1947 Map of Savannah
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The coastal marshlands and river systems of the Lowcountry define this landscape just after World War II, showing a region where tide-water commerce and military preparations converged. Savannah serves as the primary urban hub, connected by the Savannah River to a network of inland rail lines including the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line. This era captures a period of significant military activity, with large installations like Camp Stewart, Chatham AAF, and the U S Marine Base on Parris Island deeply integrated into the geography of Chatham and Beaufort counties.
