1967 Map of Waycross SW

About this map

Pittman Chapel and the nearby Carter Cem anchor the small human presence in this dense swamp landscape along the Ware and Charlton County border. The environment is dominated by the northern reaches of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, where a complex system of islands and water bodies like Bush Island, Cane Break Island, and Tom Thumb Bay illustrate the intricate hydrology of the Georgia coastal plain. Transportation patterns follow historical paths of industry and access, marked by an Old Railroad Grade and the Swamp Perimeter Road. Distance markers like Twelvemile Post and Fifteenmile Post along the grades suggest a landscape measured by its depth into the wetlands, where named features such as Botherment and Berry Belly Strand provide unique local identifiers for specific tracts of this water-bound wilderness.
