About this map

St Marys River and the Satilla River carve deep, winding paths through this coastal plain landscape along the Georgia-Florida border. The 1917 survey reveals a region defined by its waterway commerce, evidenced by the high concentration of river landings such as White Sand Ldg, Elbow Ldg, and Mallets Ldg. Transportation inland is anchored by the Atlantic Coast Line R R and the Lumber R R, which cut through dense areas like Cabbage Swamp and Tybee Swamp.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of community landmarks, including the Germantown School, New Pigeon Creek School, and Temple Church. Established settlements like Colerain and Kings Ferry serve as focal points in a landscape still crisscrossed by the Old Post Road and the early National Highway. The presence of numerous named bluffs, such as Bullhead Bluff and Orange Bluff, highlights the strategic high ground chosen for early riverfront development.
