2017 Map of Colon

About this map

Okefenokee Swamp dominates the eastern expanse of this South Georgia landscape, where the flat, watery terrain is punctuated by slightly elevated sand features and islands. The settlement of Colon sits in the southwest corner near Sawgrass Pond, while the community of Williamsburg is situated to the east. This 2017 survey reveals an intricate network of waterways including Alligator Cr and Tatum Cr, which drain through various wetlands like Indian Swamp and Cross Swamp. Significant topographic rises appear as named islands within the marshes, notably Big Island, Cub Island, and Buck Trail Island. A lattice of forest and service roads, such as Tower Rd and Score Bridge Rd, provides the primary access through this hydrologically complex environment, connecting remote points like Score Bridge to the small rural centers.
