1967 Map of Moniac

About this map

The Okefenokee Swamp dominates this late-1960s photomap, where the St Marys River forms the winding boundary between Georgia and Florida. This experimental edition uses a photographic base to reveal the intricate mosaic of islands and waterways within the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, including Fowl Roost Island and Soldiers Camp Island. The settlement of Moniac sits near the river crossing, where the Southern Railway intersects the state line. Genealogists will find the Moniac Cem and the nearby community of Baxter. The map documents a transition in land use, noting a Dismantled Logging Tram cutting through the dense vegetation of Bee Gum Prairie, alongside distinctive terrain features like Moonshine Ridge and the historical marker at Ellicotts Mound.
