2017 Map of Dover Bluff

About this map

The Little Satilla River winds through a complex coastal ecosystem of tidal creeks and marshlands on the boundary of Glynn and Camden counties. This landscape is defined by the transition from the upland pine and oak forests of Hazzards Neck to the expansive salt marshes that separate the mainland from Colonels Island and Jointer Island. Several established bluff-top communities overlook the water, including Dover Bluff, Piney Bluff, and Hickory Bluff, reflecting a settlement pattern centered on high ground and river access. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the area, as evidenced by several smaller burial grounds such as Hull Cem, Ella Park Cem, and Black Hammock Cem. To the west, the extensive Hardee Swamp feeds into Sparkman Cr, illustrating the dense hydrological network that has shaped the geography of coastal Georgia.
