About this map

The Little Satilla River and White Oak Creek define the low-lying coastal landscape of Camden and Glynn Counties in this modern topographic study. The settlement of Waverly sits at the intersection of Old Dixie Hwy and local routes, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands including Tiger Swamp, Glencoe Swamp, and Hayner Swamp. The map details the transition from dry land to the extensive salt marshes and tidal creeks that separate inland pine forests from the Atlantic coast.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations through named landmarks such as Quarterman Cem and Horse Stamp Cem, or along roads like Horsestamp Church Rd and Old Bryson Farm Rd. Distinctive landforms such as Gowrie Island, Hull Island, and Goat Island rise above the surrounding swamp waters, illustrating the historical importance of elevated ground for small settlements like Red Bluff and White Oak.
