1944 Map of Everett City

About this map

Altamaha River bottomlands dominate this mid-century landscape, where the confluence of the Southern Railway and Seaboard Air Line at Everett City created a vital transportation nexus. The map documents the low-country geography of Glynn and Wayne Counties, characterized by sprawling wetlands like Buffalo Swamp and Clayhole Swamp, and numerous named hammocks and islands such as Du Binnion Hammock and Hickory Island. Rural education and transport are well-indexed through sites like the Union Industrial Sch and the discontinued Fort Barrington Ferry. Small railroad-oriented settlements including Thalmann, Anguilla, and Grangerville Station illustrate the era's reliance on rail for commerce and mail, while isolated landings such as Opossum Landing and Clarks Bluff Landing indicate the continuing importance of river access.
