1967 Map of Fort Mudge

About this map

Okefenokee Swamp dominates this late-1960s photomap, revealing a complex environment of islands, sloughs, and blackwater lakes at the intersection of Ware, Brantley, and Charlton counties. The landscape transitions from the managed timberlands of Waycross State Forest in the northwest to the protected wilderness of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. Notable features such as Cowhouse Island and Billy Landing Island rise above the wetlands, which are crisscrossed by a boat trail and a dismantled logging tram, marking the area's history of extraction and recreation.
