1939 Map of Bladen

About this map

Colonels Island and the meandering waterways of the Turtle River and Little Satilla River dominate this coastal Georgia landscape, where the tides dictate the geography of numerous islands like Rough Island, Blythe Island, and Hogans I. This 1939 edition, based on earlier surveys, captures a transition in the local economy from river-reliant transport to a robust rail network. The Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line, and Southern railroads intersect at points like Bladen and Southern Junc, connecting the rural interior to the Southern Ry Docks. Evidence of local community life is visible in the distribution of rural education at the Magnolia School, Buck Swamp School, and Brockington School. The geography is defined by an intricate system of naming, from the Waverly Tramroad used for timber transport to the many named wetlands like Tiger Swamp and Hardy Swamp.
