1944 Map of Green Point

About this map

Tates Hell Swamp dominates the upper half of this coastal interior, revealing a complex network of wetlands and drainage patterns during the mid-1940s. The landscape is defined by its transition from the dense swamp to the shoreline of St George Sound, where small settlements like Green Point and High Bluff are situated. An abandoned RR grade and an abandoned grade cut through the upper sections, indicating a period of early 20th-century logging or infrastructure that had already receded by the time of the 1943 survey. Along the southern coast, Porters Bar Cem and landforms like Marsh Point and Royal Bluff offer specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists. The intricate waterways, including Cash Bayou and East Bayou, illustrate the tidally influenced geography that shaped early transportation and habitation in this part of Franklin County.
