About this map

The St Marys River carves a winding path along the Georgia-Florida border, defining the northern edge of this landscape where the coastal plain meets complex drainage networks. This 1993 revision shows the settlement of Gross as a transport hub, centered around an interstate interchange and flanked by a Weigh Station and a Campground. The map documents a blend of rural residential life and infrastructure, with local landmarks like New Mount Carmel Ch and St James Ch serving as community anchors near Evergreen.

To the south and east, the terrain transitions into significant wetland systems including McQueen Swamp, Plummer Swamp, and White Oak Swamp. These low-lying areas are interspersed with family-named sites of interest to genealogists, such as Wildes Cem and Higginbotham Cem / Owens Cem. The settlement of Becker is marked near the eastern edge, supported by a Lookout Tower that stands over the dense timber and swamp margins typical of Nassau County.
