About this map

The Georgia-Florida state line bisects this 1967 experimental orthophotomap, where the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern landscape. This specialized edition, prepared from 1963 aerial photography and 1967 surveys, provides a clear view of the complex hydrology within the Okefenokee Swamp and Pinhook Swamp. The Southern railroad line cuts a straight path through the wetlands, connecting small points like Sargent, Moorehead, and Traveler.

Remote landforms such as Long Island, Ox Pen Island, and the evocatively named Devils Cup and Saucer Island emerge from the saturated terrain. While much of the area is defined by massive tracts of standing water like Sapp Prairie and Double Run Swamp, the map also captures human movements along the Watson Line Road and various Jeep Trails used for navigating this difficult borderland environment.
