About this map

The Satilla River meanders across this landscape, defining the character of Camden County with its complex system of islands and high ground. Settlements like Jerusalem and Jefferson sit along the winding watercourse, connected by rural routes such as Burnt Fort Rd and Old National Hwy. The river's influence is evident in the naming of prominent landings and lookouts, including Clarks Bluff, Bullhead Bluff, and Long Bluff.

For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, such as Baileys Mill Cem, Tompkins Cem, and Manning Cem, which provide clues to the families who settled this riverine corridor. The terrain is marked by distinctive features like Monkey Island and the swampy reaches of Hells Gate, illustrating the varied geography found between the crossroads at Tompkins and the northeastern settlement of Hopewell.
