About this map

The coastal wetlands and lowlands of the S Newport River dominate this 2017 survey area at the borders of Liberty, Long, and McIntosh counties. In the northeast, the settlement of Riceboro stands near the headwaters of Payne Cr, while the surrounding landscape is defined by vast marshes and named rises like Stewart Isle and Jonas Island. This terrain reveals a distinct pattern of land use where private holdings and recreational interests overlap, evidenced by labels like the Thompson Hunting Club and the sprawling Sassafrass Plantation.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the detailed road network and cemetery locations. Rural routes such as Warsaw Tram Rd and Bombing Range Rd crisscross the swampy interior, leading to small burial grounds like Middleton Cem and Branson Cem. The drainage patterns of Bull Town Swamp and Sandy Run illustrate the difficult coastal geography that has historically shaped movement and settlement in this part of Georgia.
