2017 Map of Shell Bluff Landing

About this map

Shell Bluff rises over the southern banks of the Savannah River, marking a prominent geological and historical landmark where Georgia meets South Carolina. This modern survey illustrates the intricate wetlands and oxbow formations that define the river's path, including D'Antignac Swamp, Black Lake, and Red Lake. The landscape is a complex network of tributaries such as Boggy Gut Cr, Newberry Cr, and Stewart Br, which drain the elevated ridges of Richmond and Burke counties. Human presence is concentrated along rural routes like Shell Bluff Landing Rd and Hancock Landing RD, leading to small riverfront sites like Shell Bluff Landing. The inclusion of the Rhodes Air Ranch Airport and family-named water bodies like Smiths Pond highlights the area's mix of private landholdings and aviation history. Further east across the state line, the confluence of Upper Three Runs and Fourmile Br with the main channel showcases the shifting hydrology of the Savannah river valley.
