About this map

The vast interior of the Okefenokee Swamp dominates this landscape, characterized by a complex network of marshes, prairies, and forested hammocks. Named prairie regions such as Casters Prairie, Redbird Prairie, and Durdin Prairie illustrate the mosaic of the wetland, while higher ground appears at Floyds Island and Pine Hammock. Along the eastern edge, the topography changes abruptly at Trail Ridge, a prominent geological feature that forms the eastern boundary of the swamp.

Transport is restricted to the periphery, with roads like Swamp Perimeter Rd and Kingfisher Landing Rd providing access points to the interior water bodies. Hydrological features like Double Lakes, Perch Lake, and Sand Lake are centrally located within the swamp's interior. This map is an essential reference for understanding the modern boundary and internal topography of this protected ecosystem in Charlton County.
