Geography

Dutch Island is located southeast of Savannah at 32.0058°N -81.0311°W.[4] It corresponds to the physical Dutch Island, a body of land surrounded by tidal channels: the Herb River to the northwest, the Wilmington River to the northeast, the Skidaway River to the southeast, and Grimball Creek to the southwest.
