About this map

The St Marys River meanders across the state line between Georgia and Florida, serving as the central artery for this low-lying borderland. The landscape is defined by its riparian complexity, where the river loops around Horseshoe Island and meets significant tributaries like Pigeon Creek and Cabbage Swamp Creek. In the western reaches, the town of Folkston serves as a local hub, anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and educational landmarks such as Bethune Middle Sch.

Industry and local community are clearly marked, from the Strip Mine and its associated Tailings Pond in the northwest to the small settlement of Boulogne situated where the highway crosses the river into Florida. Local history is preserved through labels for the Camp Pinckney Ch and scattered settlements like Colerain and Hebard, while numerous firebreaks crisscross the wooded terrain, indicating the importance of timber management in the region.
