About this map

Satilla River bottomlands define the southern portion of this landscape, where the water carves a complex network of reaches and bends including McIntosh Bend and Buzzard Roost Reach. The terrain is characterized by a series of hammock formations and islands, such as Zetser Hammock and Flowers Island, rising slightly above the surrounding wetlands and sloughs. These higher grounds provided the foundation for local settlements like Browntown and Fendig, which are connected by Ga-32.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial sites across the quadrangle, from Little Memorial Cem in the north to Barnwell Cem near the Glynn County line. The settlement pattern follows the established roads and natural bluffs, with Robinson Hammock situated near the river's edge. Numerous small water bodies, including Round Lake and Drurys Lake, punctuate the river valley, illustrating the drainage patterns of the coastal plain during the early 21st century.
