About this map

Raulerson Swamp and Indian Swamp dominate the low-lying terrain of this corner of Brantley County, where the landscape is defined by its complex network of wetlands and drainage. The settlement of Hoboken sits at the western edge of the quadrangle, connected to Hickox in the southeast by a grid of rural roads and the prominent Corridor Z transit route. Rising above the surrounding wetlands, the Trail Ridge forms a significant geological feature, influencing the local hydrology and the placement of early routes.

Genealogists will find the Spring Hill Cem on the northwestern edge, while local history enthusiasts can trace named landforms like Buck Island and the curiously titled Kneeknocker Swamp. The southern half of the map is shaped by the winding course of Buffalo Creek and numerous bays, including Tiger Bay and Caney Bay, illustrating the persistent wet-soil character that has historically dictated timber and agricultural patterns in this part of Georgia.
