1956 Map of Brunswick West

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Turtle River and South Brunswick River converge in this mid-century survey of the Georgia coast, revealing a landscape defined by intricate tidal waterways and low-lying marsh islands. Near the town of Arco, the industrial and transportation footprint is evident through the convergence of the Southern and Atlantic Coast Line railroads at Southern Junction. The maritime character of Glynn County is centered on the Blythe Island Naval Reservation, situated among a complex network of channels including Ratcliffe Slough and Morrison Slough. Local community life is marked by numerous country churches such as Springfield Ch and Emanuel Ch, while the eastern edge captures the growth of Brunswick and the established grounds of Palmetto Cemetery. The map documents a period before modern coastal development reshaped these marshes, preserving the locations of early landmarks like Fancy Bluff and Maggie Hummocks.
