1979 Map of Darien
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Darien and its surrounding coastal islands are captured here in a transition between historic agrarian footprints and modern conservation. The landscape is defined by the braided channels of the Altamaha River, including Butler River and Champney River, which carve through a network of marshy islands like Rhetts Island and Butler Island. Cultural layers are exceptionally dense, ranging from the colonial-era Old Fort King George and Santo Domingo Mission Ruins to sites reflecting the area's complex social history, such as the Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation Historic Site. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and communal landmarks, including the Old Slave Cem Evelyn, Freedman Cem, and St Cyprians Ch. The southern portion of the sheet shifts toward 20th-century utility, dominated by the Glynco Jetport and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.
