2017 Map of Oak Level

About this map

The Ogeechee River and its intricate network of coastal waterways dominate this landscape along the boundary of Chatham and Bryan counties. The map captures a complex environment of salt marshes and tidal channels, where the Intracoastal Waterway threads through the Florida Passage and Bear River. High ground is found at settlements like Oak Level and Fancy Hall, while the marsh is punctuated by named landforms such as Cabbage Island, Queen Bess Island, and Harveys Island. Historical land use is evident in the network of local roads and trails, including Sammy Brown Rd and the Redbird Creek Trl. The geography reflects the transitional nature of the Georgia coast, where mainland forests meet the expansive waters of Kilkenny Creek and the tidal reaches of Ossabaw Island.
