About this map

The Satilla River meanders through this portion of Camden County, Georgia, defining a landscape of wetlands and river landings. This 2011 survey documents a river-oriented geography where the main channel is punctuated by numerous oxbow lakes such as Santee Lake, Half-Moon Lake, and Big Mineral Lake. The presence of several landings, including Gold Mine Landing, Dubberly Landing, and Slades Old Field Landing, indicates a long history of river access and small-scale commerce along the waterway.

Away from the river, the small settlement of Big Oak and landmarks like Oquin Bluff and Upper Hog Pen Bluff provide terrestrial points of reference. For family historians, the inclusion of Bethlehem Cemetery and Dowling Cemetery offers critical genealogical data points. The western portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling drainage of Cross Swamp, while a dense network of county roads, such as County RD-88 and Widows Lake Rd, connects the rural homesteads and agricultural tracts of the region.
