2017 Map of Folkston

About this map

Folkston and Homeland anchor this corridor in Charlton County, Georgie, where the Saint Marys River forms the state line with Florida. The landscape is defined by the high ground of Trail Ridge to the west and a complex network of waterways including Spanish Cr and Stanley Br. Historically significant sites are scattered throughout the rural periphery, most notably the river-oriented settlement at Traders Hill, which served as a critical early commerce point and county seat. Genealogy researchers will find numerous small burial grounds across the quadrangle, such as Bethel Cem, Sardis Cem, and the Prospect Cem near Gowen Lake. The map details the local road system, including Tracys Ferry Rd and Bryant Landing Rd, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to the river and its swampy margins.
