About this map

The Altamaha River carves the northeastern boundary of this landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands and islands including Aleck Island and Smith Island. Further inland, the settlement patterns of Wayne County are defined by small communities such as Lower Sansavilla and Mount Pleasant. The terrain is dominated by vast drainage systems like Gardi Swamp and Little Buffalo Swamp, while the Sansavilla Bluff provides a rare point of elevation overlooking the river basin.

Logistics and transport are anchored by the Golden Isles Pkwy and the junction at Everett, where rail lines and roads converge near the Glynn County line. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Mount Pleasant Cem and the curiously named Lyles Old Field, reflecting a transition from river-based commerce to modern highway connectivity. The map also identifies numerous family-named landmarks and "hammocks," such as Tob Hammock, which signify small rises of habitable land within the surrounding swampy flats.
