2017 Map of Waverly

About this map

Waverly sits at the heart of this coastal Georgia landscape, where the tidal influence of the Little Satilla River and White Oak Creek shapes a network of islands and marshlands. The terrain is a complex puzzle of low-lying wetlands including Hayner Swamp, Glencoe Swamp, and Barkers Swamp, interspersed with higher ground such as Gowrie Island and Clarks Island. The persistence of early land divisions and family names is evident in features like Magnolia Plantation and the Quarterman Cem, while the presence of Red Bluff along the Waverly Creek drainage indicates the localized elevation changes typical of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The area's history is tied to these water routes and the scattered settlements of Spring Bluff and White Oak, linked by a dense network of local roads such as Old Dixie Hwy and Horsestamp Church Rd.
