About this map

The Satilla River dominates this coastal Georgia landscape, winding past the town of Woodbine and the historic riverfront at Satilla Bluff. The map illustrates a region defined by extensive wetlands and named islands, such as Tiger Island and Bear Island, woven between intricate waterways like Crow Harbor Reach and White Oak Creek. The settlement pattern reflects the area's transition from river-dependent hamlets to a corridor linked by modern transit, with the older town centers of Halifax and Billyville positioned near the dense marshlands of Gap Swamp and Walker Swamp.

Genealogists can locate several local burial sites, including Green Cem, Whitaker Cem, and Ceylon Cem, providing specific locations for family history research. The presence of named features like Floyd Hammock and Wild Neck speaks to the unique low-country geography of Camden County as it appeared in the late twenty-tens. The Kenneth McCarthy Bridge serves as a primary transit point across the river, connecting the northern swamps with the southern reaches near Kingsland.
