1956 Map of Brunswick

About this map

Brunswick and the Georgia coastline serve as the centerpiece of this mid-century coastal study, revealing a complex network of barrier islands and tidal sounds. The geography is defined by the massive Fort Stewart Military Reservation to the north and the intricate drainage of the Altamaha River, which separates McIntosh County from Glynn County. The map details the transition from the inland pine forests and swamps like Big Cypress Swamp to the developed maritime centers and protected wilderness areas.
