2021 Map of Sargent

About this map

The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge dominates this landscape, where the boundary lines of Georgia and Florida intersect amidst a vast network of wetlands and islands. The settlement of Sargent sits as a primary point of reference in a region characterized by the intricate hydrology of the Okefenokee Swamp and White Arm Swamp. The terrain is defined by low-lying rises or "islands" such as Long Island, Ox Pen Island, and the curiously named Devils Cup and Saucer Island, which provide dry ground among the saturated prairies and bays. This map illustrates the transition from managed forest lands and rural access roads like Main Pasture Rd and Watson Line Rd into the protected wilderness. Researchers can trace the specific county divisions of Clinch, Ware, Columbia, and Baker, which converge in this remote corner of the Southeast.
