About this map

The Satilla River meanders through the heart of this coastal plain landscape, defining the boundary between Charlton and Camden counties. This river corridor is marked by a series of distinct elevations including High Bluff, Shirley Bluff, and Magnolia Bluff, which overlook the surrounding wetlands and oxbows like The Basin and Billys Lake. Near the center of the river's path, the Burnt Fort settlement sits at the junction of several local routes, anchored by the Hopkins Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural burial sites scattered across the pines and river flats, including Corinth Cem, O'Berry Cem, and Lowther Cem. To the southwest, the edge of Folkston appears near Lake Paxton, while the river continues its winding course past Mays Bluff and Gormans Bluff in the southeast. The map details an extensive network of local roads such as Burnt Fort Rd and Hog Pen Rd that connect these remote riverside points.
