About this map

The settlement of Clyo anchors the northeastern portion of this coastal plain survey, serving as a hub for local roads like Clyo Shawnee Rd and Sisters Ferry Rd. The landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Ebenezer Creek and its many tributaries, including Turkey Branch and Jacks Branch, which carve through the Effingham County terrain. Small crossroads and rail-aligned communities like Berryville, Bethel, and Stillwell are distributed along the primary transit corridors.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Metzger Cemetery, Wheeler Cemetery, and Kieffer Cemetery. The presence of the Clyo Post Office and the distinct landing-bound route of Sisters Ferry Rd E reflects a rural economy historically tied to both overland transport and nearby river access. The map also identifies local landmarks like Swaids Field and the small cluster at Lorenzo, providing a detailed look at the area's rural development into the early 21st century.
