About this map

The St Marys River carves a winding path through this corner of Charlton County, defining the state boundary between Georgia and Florida. To the west, the landscape is shaped by the proximity of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, where Chesser Ridge and Trail Ridge rise above the wetlands. This 1966 topographic survey captures the area before significant modern development, showing the small settlement of Toledo centered around its Lookout Tower and the smaller enclave of Starland to the north.

Evidence of historical land use and transit is visible in the Old Grade and various Jeep Trails that traverse the pine flatwoods. Local genealogy is anchored by the Johnson Cem situated near the riverbanks. The drainage pattern is complex, with Cornhouse Creek, Harris Creek, and Dunn Creek feeding into the main river system, illustrating the interconnected hydrology of the south Georgia borderlands.
