1994 Map of Moniac

About this map

The St Marys River forms a winding natural boundary between Georgia and Florida, anchoring the small settlements of Moniac and Baxter during the mid-1990s. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the river’s edge and the southern reaches of the Okefenokee Swamp, where elevated terrain features like Moonshine Ridge and Soldiers Camp Island emerge from the wetland. Notable for local history, the map identifies the Moniac Cem and the specific location of Ellicotts Mound, a historic surveying landmark marking the 1796 boundary line. The landscape is a network of named islands and heads, including Roosting Ear Island and Sally Head, connected by functional routes such as the Perimeter Road and the Wilderness Road that trace the margins of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness.
