1980 Map of Harrietts Bluff

About this map

John H McIntosh Sugar Mill Site Ruins stand as a historical anchor in this coastal landscape, situated just west of the expanding Kings Bay Naval Submarine Support Base. The map reveals a complex interface of maritime industry and protected wetlands, where the Cumberland River Intracoastal Waterway winds past Cumberland Island National Seashore. The transition from established settlements like Harrietts Bluff and Sadlers Landing to the military installations at Kings Bay illustrates the late 20th-century evolution of Camden County's waterfront. Inland, the community life of the era is marked by several country churches, including St Johns Ch and Young Zion Ch, alongside the St Marys Airport. The inclusion of Crooked River State Park and its Campgrounds highlights the region's longstanding role in coastal recreation and conservation.
