1993 Map of Bladen

About this map

Turtle River and its dense network of tidal marshes define the eastern edge of this landscape on the border of Glynn and Camden Counties. The settlement at Brookman serves as a central junction where local life revolves around landmarks like the Brookman Cemetery and the Lookout Tower. Further north, the old railroad crossroads at Bladen features a Flowing Well and an Old Railroad Grade, marking the remains of early transportation corridors through the wetlands. The map provides significant genealogical value through its documentation of rural family and community sites, including the Higginbotham Cemetery and Mack Cemetery located near Buck Swamp. Small religious hubs such as New Zion Church and Magnolia Church appear alongside established routes like the Massie Causeway, illustrating the historical connectivity of these coastal Georgia communities.
