About this map

The Saint Marys River winds along the border between Florida and Georgia, anchoring a landscape of tidal creeks and quiet settlements in the early 21st century. This survey of the Gross quadrangle highlights the complex hydrology of the coastal plain, where the Little Saint Marys River and various tributaries like McQueen Creek and Lofton Creek dissect the low-lying terrain. The map documents the small communities of Gross and Becker, situated near the major transport corridor of Interstate 95 and Highway 17.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by long-standing landmarks, including Wildes Cemetery and Owens Cemetery. Significant natural features such as Scrubby Bluff and the branching network of Upper Sister Creek and Lower Sister Creek illustrate the untouched reaches of the river system. The road network, including family-named routes like Owens Farm Rd and Hadley Way, provides a detailed record of land ownership and access during this era.
