1953 Map of Waycross

About this map

The Satilla River and Ocmulgee River systems define this mid-century portrait of South Georgia, a region characterized by its expansive wetlands and emerging highway network. At the southeastern corner, the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge marks a massive wilderness transition, with Cow House Island rising above the swampy terrain. The era's transportation landscape is dominated by a dense web of steel and asphalt, where the Atlantic Coast Line RR and Seaboard Air Line RR intersect at the regional hub of Waycross.
