2017 Map of Moniac

About this map

Moniac and Baxter sit along the border of Georgia and Florida, serving as small outposts near the vast Okefenokee Swamp as mapped in 2017. The North Prong Saint Marys River carves the boundary between the states, with the historic marker of Ellicotts Mound positioned where the line breaks north. This landscape is defined by its transition from the deep wetlands of the swamp to the slightly elevated terrain of Trail Ridge. Throughout the region, large bays and islands such as Roasting Ear Island and Brandy Bay emerge from the saturated environment, interconnected by a network of drainage channels like Joaquin Cr and the River Styx. Local history is anchored at the Moniac Cem, while the interior remains defined by distinct breaks in the swamp floor, including Okefenokee Break and Horse Shoe Break.
