About this map

The Altamaha River system dominates the northern landscape of this Glynn County coastal plain, where the South Branch South Altamaha River winds around Lewis Island and Cambers Island. The settlement pattern follows the corridor of Us-341, which connects the communities of Zuta, Pennick, and Frazers Crossing. Local geography is defined by low-lying wetlands and islands, with distinct names like Boggy Gall, Scrub Island, and Rough Island punctuating the terrain.

Further south, the density of residential development increases near Sterling and the neighboring settlements of Brobston and Groveside Park. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Daniel Cem situated near the intersection of several local roads. The map also captures the hydraulic network of the area, from the winding Honeygall Creek to the Buffalo River and Little Buffalo Creek, illustrating how the coastal hydrology shaped the placement of early settlements like Anguilla.
