About this map

Altamaha River distributaries and coastal wetlands define this coastal landscape, where the tides weave through a complex system of islands and creeks near the McIntosh County shoreline. Small communities like Ridgeville, Meridian, and Ardick are linked by a network of local roads such as Kings Rd and Cathead Cross Rd, reflecting a settlement pattern influenced by the shifting waters of Cathead Creek and the North River.

Genealogists will find this 2011 survey particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous family and community burial grounds, including Robson Cemetery, Hutchinson Cemetery, and Cuthbert-Grant Cemetery. The map also captures the commercial footprint of the era at the Georgia Islands Factory Shoppes and the agricultural legacy of tracts like Eden Field. From the marshy reaches of Duck Wallow to the higher ground of Darien Heights, the sheet provides a precise record of this Georgia coastal corridor before further modernization.
