1972 Map of Macclenny West

About this map

The St Marys River forms a winding natural boundary between Florida and Georgia at the northern edge of this landscape, where the Baker and Charlton County lines meet. This territory is characterized by a mix of wetlands and rural settlements, with Hells Bay and the South Prong St Marys River defining the drainage patterns. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad serves as the primary east-west corridor, connecting the communities of Glen St Mary, Margaretta, and the western portion of Macclenny. These towns evolved alongside the rail infrastructure, which supported local industries like the Resin collection point. Local social life is mapped through a network of rural institutions, including Oak Grove Ch, Macedonia Ch, and Keller High Sch. Significant topographic markers such as Pine Top and the Lookout Tower punctuate the flat, creek-crossed terrain of the southern coastal plain.
