About this map

Kings Bay Army Terminal dominates the central landscape of this 1950s coastal survey, illustrating a period of significant military infrastructure development in Camden County. The map details a complex network of docks and rail spurs serving the terminal, integrated with the Seaboard Air Line railroad. To the north, the winding Crooked River creates a maze of marshes and bluffs, including Simmons Bluff and Elliotts Bluff.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural landmarks of interest, such as the Ruhamah Mission and St Johns Ch. The transition from industrial and military usage to recreation is evident at Crooked River State Park, while the southern portion of the map captures the St Marys City Boundary and the St Marys Airport. Small waterfront settlements like Harrietts Bluff and Sadlers Landing are documented along the river's edge, highlighting the area's long-standing connection to the water.
