1965 Map of Double Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge dominates this experimental photomap, which utilizes a controlled mosaic of 1963 aerial photography to reveal the intricate hydrology of the Okefenokee Swamp. The landscape is a complex network of open water and aquatic prairies, including Double Lakes, Carters Prairie, and Redbird Prairie. This specific mapping method provides an exceptional view of the hammocks and islands that break the swamp surface, most notably the long, wooded stretch of Floyds Island. Along the eastern edge, the topography shifts to slightly higher ground where primitive routes like Sawfly Road and Perimeter Road skirt the wetlands. Human activity within the refuge is concentrated at Kings Boat Landing, providing a point of entry into the labyrinth of named water bodies such as Durdin Lake and Mose Lake.
