About this map

The Satilla River defines the western reaches of this landscape, its winding course giving rise to numerous oxbow lakes such as Abrahams Lake, Atkinson Lake, and Julia Lake. This coastal plain environment is characterized by extensive wetlands, including Bradley Swamp and Knights Swamp, which separate the small settlements of Atkinson and Waynesville. The presence of several family-named burial grounds like Wiggins Cem and Highsmith Cem offers significant value for genealogical research in this part of Brantley County.

Transportation corridors are clearly marked, with CSX Transportation tracks and the historic Old Jacksonville Road cutting through the terrain. The map also documents the industrial and agricultural footprint of the late twentieth century, from the Claypit near Waynesville to Linda Plantation and the various Campgrounds near the river. Landmarks such as the Lookout Tower and Ammons Ferry reflect the region's historical reliance on both the river and elevated points for navigation and monitoring the timber-rich surroundings.
