About this map

Waverly and White Oak anchor this 1970s orthophotomap of coastal Georgia, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts through a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and river systems. The transition from the Little Satilla River to the inland network of White Oak Creek and Waverly Creek reveals a geography of named landmasses like Hull Island and Still Island rising above the Waverly Swamp.

Genealogical and local history is preserved through the location of the Quarterman Cemetery and Horse Stamp Cemetery, along with community hubs such as Mt Oran Church and Rising Daughter Church. The map details the local road network, including the uniquely named Whiskey Bottle Road, while landmarks like the Hazzards Neck Lookout Tower and Red Bluff provide a sense of the area's timber and coastal utility history.
