1918 Map of Kingsland

About this map

Kingsland and Woodbine anchor this coastal Georgia survey, which records a complex network of waterways and settlements just before the close of the Great War. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Satilla River, Crooked River, and St Marys River, where numerous islands like New Hope Island and Grassy Island break up the expansive swamp and marshlands. Local industry and transportation are highlighted by the crossing of the Seaboard Airline and the Atlantic Waycross and Northern railroads at Kingsland. The map reveals a high density of rural institutions serving the riverfront communities, including the Greenville School, Scotchville School, and Fairview Church. From the Tower and Refuge in the north to the landing at Sadlers Landing, the map documents a maritime and rail-dependent economy at the Florida border.
