2020 Map of Darien

About this map

The Mcintosh County Courthouse anchors the historic riverfront of Darien, overlooking a dense network of coastal waterways where the Altamaha River meets the sea. This landscape is defined by its low-lying islands, including Butler Island, Champney Island, and Rhetts Island, which are separated by a complex system of cuts and reaches such as Generals Cut and Pico Cut. The mapping reveals a distinct pattern of historical occupation, particularly through its cemeteries which provide a window into the area's social history. Sites such as the Old Slave Cem and Freedman Cem reflect the legacy of the plantation era and the subsequent development of communities like Broadfield and Evelyn. To the south, the presence of the Brunswick Golden Isles Airport and modern thoroughfares like Harry Driggers Blvd show the modern expansion of the region toward the Intracoastal Waterway and the marshes surrounding Little Saint Simons Island.
