1955 Map of Council

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Pinhook Swamp and Double Run Swamp dominate this low-lying borderland, where the intricate hydrology of the Okefenokee basin crosses between Georgia and Florida. The settlement of Council stands as a primary point of human activity in the northeast, positioned along the Southern railroad line. This rail corridor provided essential access for the timber industry in a landscape defined by expansive wetlands like Sandlin Bay and the winding course of Little Suwannee Creek. The map documents the historic Watson Line, an important surveying landmark that demarcates the state boundary, cutting through the dense interior of these southern swamps during the mid-1950s.
