The winding Sapelo River defines the coastal character of McIntosh County, where tidal inlets and dense bottomlands dominate the terrain. This 1980 orthophotomap, derived from 1974 aerial photography and earlier planetable surveys, highlights the intricate drainage systems of Mortar Swamp, Oscar Swamp, and Buck Swamp. The local economy and settlement patterns are clearly visible, from the historic Seaboard Coast Line Railroad corridor passing through Brickston and Warsaw to the coastal communities of Bellville Point and Fairhope. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of community landmarks, including Second Credit Hill Ch, Shorter Chapel, and the Mc Intosh Cem. The map also documents industrial and infrastructure footprints like the Quarry and a Sewage Disposal Pond near Eulonia.
