About this map

Satilla River tides and complex marshland drainage dominate this coastal Georgia landscape, where the Cumberland River meets the Intracoastal Waterway. The terrain is a intricate network of named swamps and cuts, including Barrell Head Swamp and Bailey Cut, which define the low-lying geography of Floyds Neck. This 1970s orthophotomap provides a clear view of the transition between the dense vegetation of African Island and the open waters of Crow Harbor Reach. Local human presence is marked by isolated sites such as the Fairfield Cem and the settlement at Forestview. Navigation and land use are indicated by features like the Schooner Landing and a Landing Strip, while the eastern edge transition into the Cumberland Island National Seashore reflects the area's conservation importance during the late twentieth century.
