2024 Map of Strange Island

About this map

The Okefenokee Swamp and the Okefenokee Wilderness dominate this portion of the Georgia landscape, where a series of elevated hammocks and islands rise above the wetland. Harpers Hammock and Indian Mound Island stand out as notable terrestrial features in a region defined by complex hydrology. The network of roads, including Strange Island Rd and Fiddlers Island Rd, provides access across the Clinch and Ware county lines, tracing the dry ground between Long Pond and Six-Weeks Bay. The map details a labyrinth of water and vegetation, from the Suwannee River headwaters to the Strange Island Prairie. These named landforms, such as North Strange Island and Little Fiddlers Island, suggest a history of localized navigation and use within the protected Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.
