About this map

The massive installation of Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay dominates the coastal landscape of Camden County in this modern survey. Situated at the confluence of the Marianna Creek and the North River, the base infrastructure is depicted alongside the tidal marshes of Cannon Swamp. To the east, the protected wilderness of the Cumberland Island National Seashore is visible across the Cumberland River Intracoastal Waterway, marking the boundary between the deepwater channels and the Atlantic barrier islands.

Along the winding Crooked River, a series of traditional riverside settlements such as Harrietts Bluff, Elliotts Bluff, and Mush Bluff provide a human-scale contrast to the military presence. These locations, along with the growing communities of St Marys and Scotchville to the south, reveal the ongoing balance between maritime industry, conservation, and suburban development. The map also traces the smaller reaches of Sadlers Creek and Gum Branch, detailing the complex hydrology of Georgia's Lowcountry.
