2020 Map of Council

About this map

Council stands at the northern edge of this landscape, situated near the boundary between Georgia and Florida. This 2020 survey reveals a remote lowland environment dominated by the intricate hydrology of the Okefenokee region. Extensive wetlands such as White Arm Swamp and Double Run Swamp characterize the terrain, while distinct depressions like Mett Bay, White Arm Bay, and Sandlin Bay dot the pine-forest grid. The area is defined by the winding course of Little Suwannee Creek, which traverses the central sections. Human activity is largely confined to a network of rural routes, including family-named roads like H Sirmans Ln and functional paths such as Mule Lot Rd and Pine Bark Rd. The map provides a clear record of the jurisdictional intersections between Echols County and Clinch County, Georgia, and their border with Columbia County, Florida.
