1994 Map of Chesser Island

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness dominates this portion of the Georgia swamp, where a complex network of prairies and islands defines the terrain. The landscape is marked by the presence of Chesser Plantation and the Suwannee Canal, the latter reflecting historical attempts to drain the wetlands. Navigation through the interior relies on distinctive landmarks such as Hog Island and Big Cypress Camp Island, while the eastern edge is lined with numerous family-named points and heads including Clay Point, Knot Head, and Scott Head. Near the northeastern corner, Camp Cornelia serves as a human foothold at the edge of the vast Chesser Prairie. The map illustrates the careful management of this environment through clearly delineated refuge boundaries and the trace of the Fort Perimeter Road skirting the swamp’s eastern rim.
