About this map

The King's Bay Army Terminal and the adjacent Crooked River State Park define this coastal landscape as it appeared in the late 1950s. The region is characterized by a complex network of tidewater channels and salt marshes, including Kings Bay and the winding Crooked River. The presence of the Seaboard Air Line railroad and the St Marys Airport highlights the mid-century infrastructure supporting the expansion of St Marys and its military facilities.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant details in the family-named landmarks and small community centers scattered across the hammocks. Landmarks like Harrietts Bluff, Scotchville, and St Johns Ch provide a clear view of local settlement patterns before modern development. Notable historical markers, such as the Historic Site (Ruins) and various landings like Sadlers Landing, reflect the long-standing maritime and rural heritage of the Camden County coastline.
