1966 Map of St George

About this map

Trail Ridge dominates the western landscape of this Georgia-Florida borderland, overlooking a complex network of waterways that drain into the St Marys River. The settlement of St George serves as the primary hub, situated where the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad tracks meet the winding river boundary. This 1966 survey, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a rural economy tied to the timber and transit lines, including an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier industrial movements through the pines. Cultural landmarks like St George Cemetery, Conner-Green Cem, and Boone Creek Ch provide essential anchor points for family historians. The presence of both a Radio Tower and a Lookout Tower near Clarking suggests the importance of fire surveillance and communication in this heavily wooded corridor along the state line.
