2024 Map of Cravens Island

About this map

Hopkins serves as a primary access point for the northern reaches of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, where the transition from managed timberlands to protected swamp is marked by Swamp Perimeter Rd. The landscape is defined by its subtle variations in elevation, where slightly higher ground creates named landmarks like Cravens Island and Burnt Island amidst the wet expanse of the Okefenokee Swamp. To the east, McLeods Mill sits near the winding corridor of Green Hammock, while the North Fork Suwannee River drains southward from Cravens Hammock. This modern survey illustrates the persistent boundary between the development in Ware County and the vast Okefenokee Wilderness, showing how roads like Hamp Mizell Rd and Old Hopkins Rd connect rural outposts to the swamp's edge.
