2011 Map of Bladen

About this map

The Little Satilla River and its intricate network of tributaries define this coastal Georgia landscape, where tidal waterways like the Turtle River and College Creek snake through the marshy lowlands. This environment has long shaped local settlement patterns, seen here in small clusters like Bladen, Georgetown, and Brookman that follow the higher ground between the swamps. The map captures a transition from the dense, naming-rich road networks of the interior, such as Tram Rd and Firetower Rd, to the more sparse riverfront near Yankee Landing. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of the Wright Cemetery near the eastern boundary and the Higginbotham Cemetery situated near Buck Swamp, providing a clear record of local family history in the early 21st century.
