2024 Map of Fort Mudge

About this map

Fort Mudge anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape where the piney uplands of Georgia transition into the expansive wetlands of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. The map reveals a mosaic of cypress strands and wet prairies, including the Maul Hammock Prairie and Wide Slough, which dominate the southern half of the quadrangle within the protected Okefenokee Wilderness. These ecosystems are punctuated by slightly elevated terrain features like Cowhouse Island and Boat-Landing Island, which traditionally served as vital dry ground for navigation and habitation within the swamp.
