About this map

Jesup and its northern outskirts emerge from the coastal plains and river bottomlands in this 2014 study of Wayne County. The landscape is defined by the sweeping course of the Altamaha River, which forms the county line with Long County near Oglethorpe Bluff. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including Goose Creek, Little Goose Cr, and Vickers Br, which drain the low-lying areas around Carter Island and Hughes Old River.

Smaller rural hubs and residential clusters such as Madray Springs, Redland, and Drawdy are connected by a grid of local roads and the primary artery of Ga-169. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the location of Pinecrest Memorial Cem and trace numerous family-named landmarks like Hammock Rd and Holland Madray Rd. The map illustrates the 21st-century spatial organization of the area, where managed woodland and residential expansion meet the natural wetlands of the Altamaha basin.
