2018 Map of Gross

About this map

The Saint Marys River winds along the border between Georgia and Florida, defining the northern and western margins of this coastal landscape. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and tidal drainages, including White Oak Swamp, Plummer Swamp, and McQueen Swamp. These low-lying areas surround higher ground occupied by small, scattered settlements such as Gross, Becker, and Evergreen. Local history is preserved in small burial grounds like Wildes Cem and Owens Cem, which sit near timber and farm roads. The convergence of Upper Sister Creek and Lower Sister Creek before they join the main river highlights the importance of water movement in this flat, marshy environment. This survey provides a clear look at the road network connecting these rural communities, including Old Yulee Rd and Wingate Landing Rd.
