1918 Map of Folkston

About this map

Okeefenokee Swamp dominates the western half of this landscape, its vast prairies and bays defined by numerous islands and local landmarks like the Indian Mound on Floyd Island. The survey highlights the sharp geographic divide created by Trail Ridge, which separates the swamp's interior from the settlement corridors and river drainage to the east. Along the Atlantic Coast Line, several small railroad-focused communities such as Uptonville and Homeland are mapped in detail, showing a clear pattern of development following the rail right-of-way.
