1993 Map of St. Marys

About this map

St Marys serves as the focal point for this 1993 study of the Georgia-Florida borderlands, where the St Marys River snakes through a complex landscape of tidal marshes and coastal plains. The map details the transition from the industrial infrastructure of the Industrial Waste Ponds and St Marys Airport to the preserved lands of the Cumberland Island National Seashore. Waterways like the North River, Jolly River, and Burrells Creek create a labyrinthine geography surrounding Martins Island and Point Peter. Moving south into Florida, the terrain rises toward Roses Bluff and Reids Bluff, while the corridor along the St Marys RR connects the village of Yulee to the riverbank. This edition integrates bathymetric data with topographic features, providing a clear picture of the navigable channels and shoals defining the Tiger Basin and Lanceford Creek before they reach the Atlantic.
