1972 Map of Macclenny West

About this map

The St Marys River winds along the northern boundary of this survey, defining the border between Georgia and Florida. This map captures a landscape transitioning from the traditional settlements of Glen St Mary and Margaretta toward the modern expansion of Macclenny. The prevalence of wetlands and intermittent streams, such as Cedar Creek and Turkey Creek, suggests a terrain shaped by the slow-draining geography of Baker County. In the southern reaches, the low-lying Helts Bay sits near the small rail-adjacent community of Margaretta. Genealogists may find particular interest in the dispersed rural landmarks, including Turner Cem and the Oak Grove Ch, while aviation enthusiasts can spot several isolated landing strips carved into the pine-covered topography of the early 1970s.
