About this map

The salt marshes and tidal waterways of Coastal Georgia define this coastal landscape, where the Glynn Co Camden Co boundary meanders through the Little Satilla River. Historic bluff settlements such as Piney Bluff and Dover Bluff overlook the intricate networks of Umbrella Creek and Honey Creek, reflecting a long history of water-dependent habitation. Further inland, the map shows the transition from the tidal reaches of Maiden Creek to established landforms like Hazzards Neck and the distinct rise of Black Hammock.

Genealogists can find important burial sites marked across the terrain, including Ella Park Cem, Black Hammock Cem, and Hull Cem. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is represented by the McCarthy Bridge crossing and the residential development patterns emerging near Hickory Bluff, while large undeveloped tracts like Colonels Island and Jointer Island preserve the original estuarine character of the Turtle River basin.
