About this map

The Okefenokee Swamp dominates this portion of the Georgia landscape, where land and water merge into a complex system of islands and watercourses. Named high ground such as Harpers Hammock and North Strange Island provide critical navigation points within the wetland environment. The headwaters of the Suwannee River snake through the northwest corner, while numerous smaller islands like Indian Mound Island and Fiddlers Island suggest a history of local land use and seasonal habitation.

A network of specialized roads, including Pine Island Rd and Fiddlers Island Rd, provides limited access into the swamp's interior. The terrain is further defined by features like Six Weeks Bay and the winding Cypress Cr, illustrating the hydrological patterns of Ware Co and Clinch Co. These isolated island features and hammocks represent the primary stable terrain for surveying and local land management in this unique ecosystem.
