About this map

Satilla River and St Marys River define this Georgia-Florida borderland, where the 1917 survey reveals a landscape of riverine commerce and early automotive travel. The National Highway and Old River Road serve as primary arteries, connecting small settlements like Colerain and Kings Ferry through a network of ferries and bluffs. The presence of numerous river landings—such as McKenzie Landing, Prospect Landing, and Gum Stump Landing—highlights a period when water transport remained vital to the timber and turpentine industries.

Along the winding banks, genealogists will find several community hubs, including Corinth Church, Antioch Church, and Germantown School. Notable river crossings such as Allens Ferry and Owens Ferry provided essential links between Charlton, Camden, and Nassau counties. The southern portion near Boulogne is marked by the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and the Lumber R R, reflecting the industrial heartbeat of the region as it transitioned from frontier to a more interconnected agricultural economy.
