1958 Map of Kingsland NE

About this map

The Satilla River and Cumberland River define this coastal landscape, where tidal creeks and dense wetlands dominate the eastern edge of Camden County. In the late 1950s, this area remained largely inaccessible except for private roads and water routes, as evidenced by the numerous Artesian Wells and the remote Private Landing Strip near Cabin Bluff. The map captures a transition from the established settlement at Forestview to the rugged, inundated interiors of Copeland Swamp and Barrel Head Swamp. Coastal landmarks such as Horsepen Bluff and Grover Island provide clues to early shoreline occupation, while the presence of Fairfield Cem near Fairfield Point marks the site of local family histories. Navigational features like The Bulkhead and the Intracoastal Waterway highlight the region's importance for maritime traffic between the mainland and the barrier islands.
