1965 Map of Blackjack Island

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Okefenokee Swamp dominates this experimental photomap, which utilizes aerial photography from 1963 to visualize the intricate vegetation and water patterns of the region. Centered on the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, the imagery reveals the stark contrast between the dense wooded cover of Blackjack Island and the open aquatic expanses of Honey Island Prairie and Blackjack Prairie. A notable remnant of the area's industrial history is the Dismantled Logging Tram cutting across the central island, a physical trace of past timber operations within the marsh. The map provides a distinct look at the land and water interface, identifying features like Blackjack Lake, Honey Island, and Mitchell Island through a combination of topographic contours and photographic detail.
