About this map

The Georgia-Florida state line bisects this 2006 survey, where the massive swamp systems of the southeast converge. This remote corridor is defined by the Okefenokee Swamp to the north and the Pinhook Swamp to the south, creating a mosaic of wetlands and timbered islands. The settlement of Eddy serves as a lonely landmark along the Eddy Grade, distinguished by the Eddy Tower Lookout which stands as a sentinel over the vast lowlands.

Public land management dominates the landscape, with boundaries for the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, Osceola National Forest, and John M. Bethea State Forest meeting here. Notable terrain features like Mims Island, Crews Island, and the curved shoreline of The Horseshoe provide higher ground amidst the marshes of the Pinhook Purchase Unit. Local drainage is managed by Moccasin Creek and the quiet waters of Lake Holes.
