1978 Map of Browntown

About this map

Satilla River meanders through the southwestern corner of this coastal plain landscape, defining a network of oxbows and backwaters including Dead River, Basin Lake, and Gator Slough. The terrain is characterized by expansive wetland systems like Alligator Swamp and Briar Bay, which have long dictated the placement of roads and settlements. Small communities and named locales such as Browntown and Fendig are linked by historic thoroughfares like the Wire Road, while an Old Railroad Grade cutting through the center of the sheet hints at former timber or transport corridors now reclaimed by the pines.
