About this map

Okefenokee Swamp dominates this 1963-based photomosaic, a landscape where water and land blur into a complex network of waterways and elevated islands. The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge provides the backdrop for a specialized transit system of boat trails and the Bird Wing Run, essential for navigating the dense vegetation of the Big Water Prairie and Sapling Prairie. Significant land masses like Floyds Island, Minnies Island, and Long Island stand out as high ground within the wetlands.

Industrial history is evidenced by a dismantled logging tram line stretching across the western portion of the sheet, marking a transition from timber extraction to conservation. Natural drainage flows through the Middle Fork into the Suwannee River, connecting water bodies such as Dinner Pond and Big Water Lake. A solitary Rest Shelter and Camp Island represent the minimal human infrastructure permitted in this protected wilderness.
