About this map

St Marys stands as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated where the St Marys River carves a winding path between Georgia and Florida. The map details a complex hydraulic network of tidal flats and meandering channels, including the Bells River, Jolly River, and Tiger River. This 1970 photorevision documents the region's mid-century transit infrastructure, showing the St Marys RR serving the riverfront while the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad and the Buccaneer Trail anchor the southern settlement at Yulee.

Local history is preserved through the locations of the Oak Grove Cem and Nigginbotham Cem, alongside rural congregations like Chester Missionary Ch and Mt Zion Ch. The mapping of small settlements such as Crandall, Glenwood, and Black Rock offers a view of the residential patterns that existed before late 20th-century development altered the marshes and pine woods of the Georgia-Florida borderlands.
