2017 Map of Fort Mudge

About this map

Fort Mudge sits at the transition between Georgia's coastal plain and the vast wetlands to the south. This 2017 survey details the northern reaches of the Okefenokee Swamp, where the landscape is defined by a mosaic of named islands and aquatic prairies. Distinctive features like Cowhouse Island, Corncob Island, and Boat Landing Island rise above the surrounding waters of Maul Hammock Prairie and Green Swamp, indicating slightly higher ground in an otherwise saturated environment. The road network, including Crews Blvd and Swamp Perimeter Rd, outlines the perimeter of this protected wilderness. In the northern section, drainage features like S Prong Big Cr and Wide Slough show the intricate hydrology that feeds into the swamp, while smaller water bodies like Ohio Lake and Perch Lake dot the interior, illustrating the area's complex freshwater ecosystem.
