1966 Map of Hoboken East

About this map

Trail Ridge dominates the topography of this Brantley County landscape, creating a distinct elevated spine that separates the wetlands of the Georgia coastal plain. The Atlantic Coast Line railroad cuts a straight path through the center of the sheet, providing a vital transport corridor between the small settlements of Hoboken in the west and Hickox in the southeast. This period in the mid-1960s shows a region defined by its complex hydrologic system, where named wetlands like Kneekocker Swamp, Tiger Bay, and Raulerson Swamp dictate the patterns of human activity. The presence of a Lookout Tower and a Quarry near the rail lines suggests an economy tied to timber management and mineral extraction, while isolated landmarks like Buck Island appear as slightly higher ground within the surrounding Indian Swamp. The mapping of numerous branches such as Millpond Branch and Fort Camp Branch illustrates the intricate drainage network feeding into Buffalo Creek.
