About this map

Waycross serves as a dense urban core on this 1960s survey, defined by its complex grid of streets like Albany Ave and Carswell St. The town is a major regional hub for education and medicine, home to the Univ of Georgia (Off Campus Center), St Josephs Academy, and Memorial Hospital. Industry and infrastructure are prominent, with the Seaboard Coast Line railroad bisecting the landscape and the Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal facility supporting the growing population.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain shifts into the expansive Waycross State Forest and the wetlands of the Satilla River basin. Deep southern geography is evident in the numerous bay and swamp features, including Boggy Bay and Skullhead Swamp. Isolated rural outposts such as Bonnyman and Astoria are connected by local landmarks like Williams Chapel and Woodard Chapel, while Bivins Airport provides a link to the wider region.
