The editorial idea

This is the kind of page that could become a signature feature of Official Savannah Guide. The map is not a utility widget dropped into the page; it gives the walk its structure.

The route begins at River Street because the water explains Savannah as a port. It climbs into the original civic grid, then follows the square rhythm south toward Forsyth Park.

A visitor should understand Savannah’s shape before collecting attractions.

Use the map as a planning aid, then let the streets, squares, shade, and nearby stops set the pace of the walk.
