1942 Map of Moniac

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Trail Ridge forms a prominent North-South spine through this Georgia-Florida borderland, dividing the dense wetlands of the Okefenokee Swamp to the west from the drainage of the St Marys River to the east. This 1917 survey, updated for the 1942 edition, illustrates a landscape where settlement is closely tied to the high ground of the ridge and the Southern and Florida railroad corridor. Communities such as Moniac, St George, and Toledo serve as local hubs, supported by a network of rural institutions like the Stave Branch School and Deep Creek Church. The map details the complex interior of the swamp, naming numerous islands and prairies including Chesser Island and Grand Prairie. Of particular historical interest is Ellicotts Mound, a significant boundary marker on the Georgia Florida state line, and industrial remnants like Olivers Mill.
