2024 Map of Winokur

About this map

Winokur stands as a primary settlement point in this Southeast Georgia landscape, situated along the corridor of the Little Buffalo Creek. The terrain is defined by the extensive wetlands of the Little Okefenokee Swamp and the prominent geological feature of Trail Ridge, which influences the local drainage and vegetation patterns. This 2024 survey documents the persistence of traditional hammocks and "islands"—slightly elevated ground within the wetlands—such as White Oak Hammock, Cedar Hammocks, and Briar Island. The network of rural roads, including the Winokur-Mattox Rd and Samuel Crews Rd, reflects a history of family-named landmarks and local connectivity through the dense swamp systems of Cross Swamp and Big Bay. The border between Brantley and Charlton counties cuts through these lowlands, marking political divisions in a largely hydrologically-driven environment.
