About this map

The coastal plains of Camden County are defined here by an intricate web of tidal creeks and marshes, most notably the meandering White Oak Creek and the Little Satilla River in the northeast. The small settlements of Waverly, Spring Bluff, and White Oak anchor the terrestrial landscape, connected by a network of local roads including the storied Old Dixie Hwy and Old Spring Bluff Rd. This 2011 survey reveals a geography of named islands and low bluffs—such as Gowrie Island, Hull Island, and Red Bluff—rising just above the wetlands.

Local family history is centered around the Quarterman Cemetery and Horse Stamp Cemetery, while the Hazzards Neck Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark on the eastern side of the quadrangle. The map captures the interface between these long-standing rural communities and the complex drainage systems of Waverly Creek and Sweeny Creek, providing a contemporary view of this low-lying Georgia landscape.
