About this map

The Satilla River dominates this coastal Georgia landscape, winding toward the Atlantic and carving out numerous islands and marshy necks. The area around Shellbine and Forestview reflects a complex network of waterways, featuring deep-water channels like Noyles Cut and Bailey Cut that facilitate navigation through the wetlands. Historically significant sites such as the Fairfield Cem near Fairfield Point provide valuable data for genealogists tracing coastal family lineages.

The eastern edge of the map transitions into the Cumberland Island National Seashore, separated from the mainland by the Cumberland River and the Intracoastal Waterway. Distinctive land features like African Island, Cabin Bluff, and Horsepen Bluff illustrate the high ground used for settlement and industry amidst expansive marshes like Halls Swamp and Barrel Head Swamp. This survey documents the intersection of commercial water routes and protected coastal preserves in Camden County.
