1979 Map of Brunswick West

About this map

The complex wetland geography of coastal Glynn County is defined here by the confluence of the Turtle River, Buffalo River, and South Brunswick River. This 1970s landscape shows the intricate relationship between industrial expansion and the natural marshland, with industrial waste ponds and a spoil area situated alongside the sprawling Pyles Marsh and Buffalo Swamp. The area around Southern Junction serves as a transportation focal point, while more isolated settlements like Hermitage and Glynn Camp are tucked between the winding waterways of Hillery Cr and Hillery Slough. Significant local landmarks include Blythe Island County Park and the U S Reservation, alongside several religious and burial sites such as Springhill Ch, Galilee Ch, and Blue Cem that provide valuable points of reference for local genealogy and land-use history.
