2017 Map of Winokur

About this map

Winokur stands at the eastern edge of a vast, water-logged landscape defined by the Little Okefenokee Swamp and the drainage of Buffalo Creek. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the Georgia coastal plain, where elevated features like Trail Ridge provide dry ground amidst a network of wetlands including Cross Swamp and Big Bay. The map reveals a pattern of land use where islands and hammocks, such as Briar Island and White Oak Hammock, serve as distinct points of higher elevation within the surrounding marsh. A dense network of local roads, many named for resident families like Radal Crews Rd, Samuel Crews Rd, and Mac Crews Rd, suggests a landscape shaped by generations of forestry and agricultural heritage straddling the boundary between Brantley and Charlton counties.
