About this map

The St Marys River meanders along the Georgia-Florida state line, serving as the central artery for this 1970s landscape. Along its banks, numerous landings such as White Sand Landing, Hawkins Shop Landing, and Cooneys Landing illustrate a historic reliance on the river for local transport and commerce. The settlement of Boulogne sits at a strategic crossing point near Hampton Lake, while the larger town of Folkston to the northwest is a key hub of activity, featuring the Bethune Middle School and a Trailer Park.

Cultural landmarks like Camp Pinckney Church and Pigeon Creek Church provide anchors for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in Nassau and Charlton counties. To the north, industrial activity is marked by a Strip Mine, while the southern reaches transition into the wetland environments of Cabbage Swamp and Cabbage Creek. The presence of the CSX railroad through Folkston and Boulogne highlights the importance of rail transport alongside the river network.
