About this map

The Saint Marys River carves a winding path along the border of Georgia and Florida, serving as the central geographic feature of this 2012 survey. Along its banks, historical riverfront activity is evidenced by locations such as Blood Landing, Brickyard Landing, and Cabbage Bend. Small settlements like Kings Ferry, Greenville, Flea Hill, and Silco dot the landscape, connected by a network of rural roads and the Bartram Trl.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous family-named landmarks and burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, including Green Cem, Oak Hill Cem, Mallets Cem, and Haddock Cem. The terrain is further defined by prominent bluffs overlooking the water, most notably Orange Bluff, Merries Bluff, and Clarks Bluff, which likely provided strategic vantage points or elevated settlement sites above the river's floodplains.
