About this map

The vast wetlands of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge dominate this landscape, where the boundary between Ware and Charlton counties passes through a network of prairies and islands. Small settlements like Braganza and Skullhead sit on the periphery, connected by rural routes such as Swamp Rd and Skullhead Rd. The map reveals a labyrinth of water and land with evocatively named features like Wheel of Fortune Island, Negro Camp Island, and Seldom Seen Point. Within the Okefenokee Wilderness, open water features including Maul Hammock Lake and Sapling Prairie are interspersed with dense swamp vegetation. The presence of Bear Lake Strand and Alligator Creek underscore the primitive hydrological character of the region, while landmarks like Cowhouse Island and Black Hammock provide high-ground reference points in the marshy expanse.
