About this map

St Marys and the sprawling Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base define the coastal landscape of this 1994 Camden County survey. The map details the heavy military footprint of the era, where roads named for the USS Benjamin Franklin and USS Henry L Stimson serve the submarine facility. Just west of the base, the John H Mcintosh Sugar Mill Site Ruins provide a notable archaeological anchor, marking the transition from historic plantation-era industry to the modern defense economy.

Maritime geography dominates the northern half of the sheet, where the Crooked River meanders toward the Intracoastal Waterway and the edge of Cumberland Island National Seashore. High ground like Harrietts Bluff and Elliotts Bluff rise above the extensive marshes of Laurel Island and Cannon Swamp. Smaller communities and landmarks, such as Scotchville, Sadlers Landing, and St Johns Ch, reflect the local settlement patterns that persist alongside large-scale state and federal landholdings like Crooked River State Park.
