About this map

The Satilla River meanders through the heart of this landscape, defining the boundary between Charlton and Camden counties. In this 1990s revision, the river's historic role in local transit is evident through the many riverside points of interest, including Rains Landing, Allens Ferry, and Clarks Landing. The settlement at Burnt Fort sits near the crossing of Hopkins Bridge, positioned amidst a network of oxbow lakes like Billys Lake and Camp Lake.

Away from the water, the terrain is marked by family landmarks and early industry. Genealogists can locate the O'Berry Cem and Antioch Cem, while the presence of a Strip Mine and a Comm Tower indicates the modern economic character of the region. Distinctive elevations such as Magnolia Bluff and Shirley Bluff rise above the river valley, offering a clear view of the complex drainage patterns formed by Baileys Branch and other tributaries.
