1994 Map of Sargent

About this map

The Georgia Florida state line bisects this survey, revealing a landscape dominated by the expansive wetlands of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. Small settlements like Sargent, Moorehead, and Traveler are situated along the boundary where the wet prairie transitions into more navigable terrain. The intricate hydrology is defined by features such as Pinhook Swamp and Double Run Swamp, separated by slightly elevated ground where roads like Watson Line Road provide passage. Local topographic curiosities such as Devils Cup and Saucer Island and Ox Pen Island emerge from the standing water of the swamp, illustrating the subtle variations in elevation that dictated human movement and settlement patterns. Further north, the Okefenokee National Wilderness marks a strictly protected environment where Turkey Nest Head and White Arm Swamp represent the untouched character of the Florida-Georgia borderlands.
