2011 Map of Woodbine

About this map

The Satilla River winds through this coastal Georgia landscape, serving as a historic arterial waterway for the riverside settlements of Woodbine, Satilla Bluff, and Ceylon. This 2011 survey captures the area at a time of modern connectivity via the Kenneth McCarthy Bridge, yet the map preserves traces of earlier settlement patterns through numerous family-named burial sites. Genealogy researchers can find locations for the Cole Cemetery, Whitaker Cemetery, and Green Cemetery, which are scattered among the tidal islands and lowlands. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of marshes and named landmasses like Walker Swamp Island and Tiger Island, illustrating the delta-like environment where White Oak Creek and Piney Island Creek meet the main river channel. Small residential pockets like Billyville and Runnymeade remain tucked between the river's bends and the primary road corridors.
