About this map

The Satilla River dictates the landscape of this Camden County region, winding through a complex network of wetlands and tidal islands. Several historic river crossings and industrial sites are recorded, including Owens Ferry and Clarks Bluff. The riverfront is dotted with local heritage markers such as Jim Baileys Mill and John Baileys Mill, which point to a history of timber or grist milling along the banks.

Smaller settlements and community hubs are scattered throughout the interior, connected by the Old National Highway. Locations like Jerusalem, Midriver, and Scarlet serve as primary points of interest for genealogists, alongside local landmarks like the New Hope Ch and the Tompkins Cem. The map provides an intricate look at the swampy terrain near Tower Swamp and the various creeks that feed into the main river channel, such as Bullhead Creek and Monkey Island Creek.
