About this map

The Satilla River and Cumberland River define this coastal Georgia landscape, where tidal marshes and dense swamps create a complex network of waterways. The 1950s terrain is marked by isolated points of high ground and named bluffs, such as Horsepen Bluff and Cabin Bluff, which served as critical access points for the region's maritime activity. In the interior, the settlement of Forestview stands out near a Lookout Tower, surrounded by expansive wetlands like Barrel Head Swamp and Hermitage Swamp. This survey illustrates the intricate nature of the lowcountry prior to significant modern development, with travel largely restricted to private roads and the Intracoastal Waterway. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Fairfield Cem near Fairfield Point, as well as the various artesian wells dotted across the coastal flats.
