1970 Map of Kings Ferry

About this map

The ST Marys River carves a winding path along the state boundary between Georgia and Florida, anchoring a landscape defined by riverside landings and rural settlements. This 1970 survey, with updates from the early 1990s, documents a community structured around the river economy and local faith, featuring numerous small congregations such as Spring Hill Ch, Oak Hill Ch, and Mt Olive Ch. The geography is notably heavy with family-named landmarks and infrastructure, from Mallets Landing to Brickyard Landing. Inland from the river bluffs, the terrain gives way to the expansive Cabbage Swamp, while scattered settlements like Kings Ferry and Greenville remain connected by rural routes such as Lessie Road. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, pinpointing several local burial grounds including Mallets Cem and Haddock Cem near the riverbanks.
