About this map

The Turtle River and its intricate network of marshes and islands define the landscape west of Brunswick. This coastal environment is marked by significant landforms such as Visavis Island, Hermitage Island, and Colonels Island, which are separated by a complex system of sloughs and creeks including Hillery Slough and Burnett Creek. The transition from the tidal wetlands to established upland settlements is visible through residential pockets like Clover Heights, Glendale Gardens, and Deerwood.

Genealogists will find several small burial grounds across the terrain, including Maxwells Cem, Blue Cem, and Scarlett Cem. The southern portion of the map shows the crossing of the Little Satilla River at the boundary of Glynn and Camden counties. Notable landmarks like Ridgewood Plantation and Halfmoon Bluff offer insights into the historical land divisions and naming conventions of this Georgia coastal region near Fancy Bluff and Satilla Shores.
