About this map

The coastal lowlands of Camden County, Georgia, and northern Nassau County, Florida, appear here as a complex network of tidal rivers and dense swamps during the late 1910s. The Seaboard Air Line railroad anchors the western corridor, connecting the established communities of Woodbine and Kingsland. The map reveals a landscape defined by water and forest products, evidenced by the Gross Still landmark and a Tramroad cutting through the northern swamps near a Refuge.

Rural life is marked by numerous small educational and spiritual hubs, such as the Greenville School, Ruhamah School, and Zion Church. The intricate waterways of the Satilla River and Crooked River dominate the eastern half, where landings like Sadlers Landing and Harrietts Bluff provided vital access points. Large islands and strands, including Grover Island and Big Strand, illustrate the challenging terrain between the mainland and the distant edge of Cumberland Island.
