1967 Map of Waycross SW

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Alligator Creek and the headwaters of the Suwannee River dominate this landscape on the border of Ware and Charlton counties. The terrain is a complex network of wetlands and upland "islands" such as Bush Island and Cane Break Island, intersected by an Old Railroad Grade and numerous firebreaks. Cultural landmarks are sparse but significant for local history, including the Pittman Chapel and Carter Cem. The presence of markers like Twelvemile Post and Fifteenmile Post along the Eightmile Post Road suggests an established system of distance marking through the dense swamp and pine woods. The naming of specific features like Botherment Swamp and Bear Belly Strand reflects the distinct local nomenclature of this pocket of the Georgia lowlands in the late 1960s.
