About this map

The dense wetlands and timberlands of the Florida-Georgia border define this 2018 survey of the Cypress Creek area. Straddling the line between Echols County, Georgia, and Hamilton County, Florida, the landscape is a complex network of bays and swamps, including Bee Haven Bay and Rice Field Swamp. The topography is characterized by subtle elevation changes that create distinct environments like Martin Hammock, a settlement area surrounded by lower-lying wetland features such as Christmas Bay and Bell Creek Swamp.

A network of specialized roads, such as Flaline Break Rd and Ga Power Break, suggests the region's involvement in modern utility and forestry management. Water drainage is critical here, with Cypress Creek and Rocky Creek winding through the terrain. This map serves as an essential record for understanding the modern hydrologic and property boundaries in a region where the natural environment still dictates the patterns of human access and land use.
