About this map

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center occupies a significant portion of the northern mainland in this coastal Georgia survey, which details the intricate landscape of the Marshes of Glynn. This 1970s orthophotomap provides a clear view of the transitioning waterfront where the Mackay River and Back River wind through extensive wetlands toward St Simons Sound. To the east, St Simons Island shows established residential and historical footprints, including the Fort Frederica National Monument and the distinctive St Simons Lighthouse near Neptune Park.

Evidence of local growth and aviation history is visible at the Brunswick Airpark and the larger Malcolm McKinnon Airport. Community centers like Jewtown and Harrington sit alongside educational and recreational sites such as Brunswick Jr College and the Brunswick Country Club. The maritime importance of the region is anchored by the Intracoastal Waterway, which navigates the complex system of creeks and sounds including Manhead Sound and Frederica River.
