1917 Map of Nahunta

About this map

Satilla River meanders through a landscape of coastal wetlands and cypress stands in this detailed 1917 military survey. The corridor along the Atlantic Coast Line railroad anchors the northern settlements of Nahunta and Atkinson, while the interior remains a mosaic of named swamps like Redcap Swamp and Whiteoak Swamp. The social fabric of the early twentieth century is revealed through a dense network of country schools, including Pine Bloom School, Riverview School, and North Camden School, which served the scattered farming and timber communities of the era.
