2011 Map of Blackjack Island

About this map

Blackjack Island and the surrounding wetland complex define this corner of Ware County, Georgia, as it appeared in the early 21st century. This specific landscape is dominated by a sprawling network of interior water bodies and isolated landforms within the swamp, including the elongated Blackjack Lake. The topographic data highlights a region characterized by subtle shifts in elevation, where Sandy Island sits as a distinct land mass amidst a dense patchwork of aquatic features. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides an intricate view of the natural hydrology and interior island formations that dictate the layout of this remote southern Georgia terrain.
