2017 Map of Waynesville

About this map

The Satilla River meanders along the western edge of this coastal plain landscape, defining a corridor of bluffs and oxbow lakes such as Abrahams Lake and Atkinson Lake. Settlements are concentrated along the primary transportation routes, with Atkinson and Waynesville situated near the corridor of the CSX Transportation railroad. The geography is characterized by an extensive network of wetlands and swamps, including the Little Satilla River Swamp and Turtle River Swamp, which dominate the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous family-named burial sites including Ammons Cem, Highsmith Cem, and Wiggens Cem. Further south, the community of Salter sits near the intersection of the Brantley and Camden county lines, surrounded by landmarks like Lord King Bluff and Flanders Shady Bluff overlooking the river.
