Savannah Historic District Illustrated Map. Map – April 1, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
With walking shoes on and this birds-eye-view guide map in hand, you'll feel like you stepped back in time in Savannah's Historic Landmark District. Beautiful, functional, and informative, this is the only companion piece you'll need in a city where a historic building, monument or point of interest beckons around every corner. The map features pictorial depictions of popular landmarks so you know what to expect and how to get there. And, we’ve even included the free shuttle and ferry stops to get you around town quicker.
Our national award-winning Savannah Historic District Illustrated Map comes folded at a convenient 4×9" size to stow in your pocket or purse and unfolds to 18×27" to reveal the captivating artwork within. You'll immediately see a "lay of the land" mirroring the classic maps of Savannah in the 19th century that depict the river (or North) on the bottom to highlight the old port and River Street. For if not for the port, there'd be no Savannah. History lovers will also appreciate the many factoids explaining the city’s rich, colorful, and sometimes dark history.
On the reverse side, you'll read of the famous squares and how they originated. Popular museums, landmarks, and attractions are listed, along with their locations on the map. Or you can choose from our top-ranked tour listings and let a professional guide take you on a narrated tour. Plus, we have a regional map showing the best attractions should you wish to venture outside the historic district.
There's no need to navigate from a tiny phone screen, as you miss the history that surrounds you. Get our map or get lost! And don't settle for the small, flimsy throwaway freebie maps devoid of any history and filled with distracting ads. Our map is advertisement-free, of high quality paper (not laminated), and meant as a true walking tour guide that you can bring back home as a souvenir.
Updates on latest edition:
New free express shuttle routes/stops added
New Plant Riverside District depicted
New listings for popular attractions

Note on compass: NORTH is on the bottom of both the Savannah Historic and Haunted maps because of the historical significance of the riverfront. This area is what draws over 13 million visitors each year and what has turned the city around economically since the late 1970s. Illustrative maps of other cities move compass directions when there is a specific tourism area that needs to be marketed to. There would be no Savannah if not for the riverfront port. It's where her riches came from dating back to the early 1700s. A vast majority of the incredible 19th century birds-eye-view maps of Savannah also show her in this non-traditional, north on bottom, format. Once you get your orientation adjusted, this map is all you'll need for wayfinding.
Do you like ghost stories, paranormal activity, and strange tales of the macabre? Then you'll love our HAUNTED SAVANNAH ILLUSTRATED MAP a must-have when touring America's Most Haunted City. And if you're planning a visit to the historic outdoor museum of Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, do not enter without our BONAVENTURE CEMETERY ILLUSTRATED MAP, or you're guaranteed to get lost.

Price was far above the print price.
So you may want to buy in Savannah if traveling to Savannah. You could likely confirm at a local bookstore.
PS Savannah is even more fun than this great map.
I am notoriously bad on directions and reading maps, so ANYTHING that makes it easier for me is welcome. I LOVE this map. I found it super easy to use and get my bearings. It is a great size to carry around. Folds easily. Not only that, it contains some interesting facts and tourist information. Even my husband thought it was good, and he is a 'just give me the facts' kind of guy.
I bought a few books on Savannah, but this was by far the most useful and ultimately the most used of them. I would definitely recommend this map and will look for the same series when visiting other places.
I also purchased Haunted Savannah Illustrated Map , which was also very good - but personally I found the Historic district one most useful.
