About this map

The Saint Marys River winds through the borderlands between Georgia and Florida, defining the landscape around Kings Ferry. This riverine environment is marked by numerous landings and bluffs, including Brickyard Landing and Merries Bluff, which historically served as vital access points for timber and transport. The local settlement pattern includes small communities like Silco and Greenville, often connected by a network of rural routes such as the Bartram Trl and Cabbage Ford Rd.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial grounds across both sides of the river, from Green Cemetery in the north to Brickyard Cemetery in the south. The proximity of several cemeteries, such as Haddock Cemetery and Oak Hill Cemetery, to features like Horsepen Creek and Mallets Creek highlights how early development was anchored to these watercourses. This map documents a quiet, coastal-plain region defined by its tidal creeks and ancestral settlements.
