About this map

The Satilla River meanders along the boundary of Charlton and Camden Counties, defining a landscape shaped by river landings and high river bluffs. Near the eastern bend, the historic settlement of Burnt Fort serves as a focal point, surrounded by family and community landmarks like Burnt Ft Cem and Magnolia Bluff. This 2014 survey records a network of rural roads such as Burnt Fort Rd and River Rd that link isolated cemeteries and small water bodies across the lowland terrain.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites, including Antioch Cem, Lowther Cem, and Corinth Cem. The presence of Rains Landing and Hopkins Bridge underscores the historical importance of river crossings and access points for the local economy. Further west, Lake Paxton and the outskirts of Folkston indicate the transition toward more established municipal areas while maintaining the quiet, swamp-edge character of the region.
