About this map

Turtle River and the South Brunswick River dominate this coastal Georgia landscape, where the tides weave through a complex network of marshes and islands. Just before the end of the First World War, this region was defined by its intersecting transit corridors, including the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads. Small settlements like Bladen and Waverly serve as focal points in an area characterized by expansive wetlands such as Turkey Swamp and Whiteoak Swamp. Local education and community life are marked by rural schoolhouses, including Magnolia School and Buck Swamp School. The presence of Log Landing on Maiden Creek and named landings like Fancy Bluff suggest a river-based economy still vital for moving timber and goods between the inland swamps and the deepwater ports near Brunswick.
