1979 Map of Brunswick East

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The complex estuarine landscape of the Georgia coast is captured in this orthophotomap, where the Mackay River and Frederica River wind through extensive marshlands toward St Simons Sound. This 1970s perspective highlights the established footprint of Brunswick and the burgeoning development on St Simons Island. Cultural and historical layers are prominent, from the site of Fort Frederica National Monument to the commemorative Bloody Marsh area. The map documents smaller communities like Harrington, Jewtown, and Glynn Haven, alongside landmarks such as the St Simons Lighthouse and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. Transportation networks are well-defined, featuring the Torras Causeway and the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. Genealogists may find value in the location of local burial sites like Brunswick Memorial Park and Stranger Cem, while the inclusion of bathymetric soundings in the Intracoastal Waterway reflects the area's continued importance for maritime navigation.
