1978 Map of Townsend

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Low-lying wetlands and timber-related transport corridors define this coastal Georgia landscape along the border of Long and McIntosh Counties. The community of Townsend serves as a local hub at the intersection of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and several regional roads. A curious relic of military history, an Abandoned Bombing Target, remains visible in the western interior, surrounded by an intricate drainage network of canals and vast named wetlands including Big Mortar Swamp, Snuff Box Swamp, and Freecastle Swamp. The presence of the Warsaw Tram Road and numerous tracks through areas like Sandhill Bay suggests a history tied to the regional naval stores or logging industries. Smaller settlements such as Huxford, Warsaw, and Credit Hill are connected by rural routes like Briardam Road, which weave through the extensive swamp systems that dominate the topography.
