1967 Map of Colon

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern landscape of this experimental 1967 survey, where the dense wetlands of the Okefenokee Swamp meet the timber and rail operations of Clinch County. The map provides an intricate look at the hydraulic complexity of the region, featuring Jones Creek, Tatum Creek, and the Dry Canal threading between elevated features like Bird Sand Hill and Big Island. The small settlement of Colon is situated along the Southern railroad line, while Williamsburg serves as a secondary focal point to the east near a Cem and Water Tank. The industrial footprint of early 20th-century logging is evident in the transition from the Retreat Logging Tram to various sections of Dismantled Logging Tram, illustrating the shifting patterns of resource extraction within these wetlands. Landmarks like Vessels Ford and several lookout towers suggest a landscape defined by both navigation and forestry management.
