2014 Map of Folkston

About this map

The Saint Marys River winds along the southeastern border of this Charlton County landscape, marking the historic boundary between Georgia and Florida. This survey captures the rural character and transportation networks of the early 21st century, centered on the community of Folkston and the neighboring town of Homeland. The area's deep history is reflected in the numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Traders Hill Cem and Sardis Cem, which are scattered throughout the countryside. Along the river, Traders Hill and Stanley Landing point to the region's long-standing connection to the waterway, while the Ferry Landing remains a notable landmark of river travel. Further inland, the distinctive topography of Trail Ridge rises above the lowlands, and smaller settlements like Paxton and Oakdale are linked by a network of local roads such as Spanish Creek Rd and Old Dixie Hwy.
