2020 Map of Kingsland

About this map

Kingsland and the outskirts of ST. Marys serve as the primary anchors of this coastal Georgia corridor just north of the Florida state line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Saint Marys River and an extensive network of wetlands, including Seals Swamp, Shingle Swamp, and Caney Swamp. This 2020 record illustrates the modern integration of heavy transportation infrastructure, such as Interstate 95, with a rural heritage preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds like Zion Cem, Peeples Cem, and Sheffield Cem. Smaller settlements such as Kinlaw and Seals sit amidst a complex hydrology of creeks like Catfish Creek and May Creek, where higher ground is often named as islands or bluffs, including Shingle Swamp Island and Griffin Bluff. The map provides a detailed view of how residential expansion around Kingsland interfaces with the dense swamp land of the coastal plain.
