About this map

Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge dominates the landscape at the northern edge of this Florida-Georgia border survey. The settlement of Eddy sits as a central point of activity where Eddy Rd meets the local network of forest routes, including Forest Rd 8 and Moccasin Creek Cir. The terrain is characterized by a complex of wetlands, from the world-famous Okefenokee Swamp in the north to Pinhook Swamp and Moccasin Swamp further south.

Elevated terrain features, known locally as islands and ridges, provide the only firm ground within these wetlands. Named features like Crews Island, Rough Island, and Moonshine Ridge suggest historical uses of these isolated pockets of dry land. Smaller water features such as Lake Holes Br and the distinctively shaped The Horseshoe carve through the swampy landscape, while Rattlesnake Island and Little Bend mark the varied topography of the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
