About this map

Williamsburg and Colon sit on the western fringes of one of Georgia's most significant wetland ecosystems, where the landscape transitions into the protected reaches of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and the Okefenokee Wilderness. The terrain is defined by a complex network of dark-water drainages like Alligator Creek and Jones Creek, punctuated by higher ground "islands" such as Big Island and Buck Trail Island. These islands, along with features like Bird Sand Hill, provide critical terrestrial footholds within the broader Okefenokee Swamp.
