1943 Map of Honey Island

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Green Swamp dominates this interior landscape of Brunswick and Columbus counties, where 1940s mapping reveals a complex network of wetlands and localized ridges. During the early years of the war, the Army Map Service documented the timber and transport patterns of the region, including the prominent Riegel Lookout Tower situated near Riegel Ridge. The topography is characterized by distinct ecological pockets like the Crane Savanna and Big Savanna, separated by the dense reaches of Honey Island Swamp and Egypt Swamp.
