About this map

The complex marshes and maritime geography of Glynn County define this coastal area, where the Mackay River and Back River separate the mainland from the developed shores of Saint Simons Island. On the island’s southern edge, the Saint Simons Lighthouse stands as a primary landmark near the Sea Island Golf Course and the historical Saint Simon Mills. This coastal landscape is intricately carved by tidal waterways like Troup Creek, Crooked Creek, and Dunbar Creek, which have shaped local settlement patterns from Ebo Landing to the residential enclaves of Glynn Haven and Epworth Acres.

The mainland side focuses on the industrial and suburban growth of Brunswick, featuring the Brunswick State Docks and the residential clusters of College Park, Azalea Gardens, and Magnolia Park. Maritime and aviation infrastructure is well-represented by the Golden Isles Marina at Gascoigne Bluff and the Malcolm McKinnon Airport. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several burial grounds, including Stranger Cemetery and Retreat Cemetery, alongside many family-named islands and bluffs such as Hawkins Island and Pikes Bluff.
