About this map

The Satilla River defines the northern reaches of this coastal Georgia landscape, winding past the town of Woodbine and several small riverside settlements like Halifax and Ceylon. The Seaboard Air Line Railroad runs a straight north-south course through the terrain, serving as a primary transportation artery for the town and nearby communities such as Colesburg and Seals. Low-lying wetlands and numerous named islands, including Grassy Island and New Hope Island, dominate the interior, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of Walker Swamp and New Hope Swamp.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of community landmarks, including several country churches like Madison Chapel and Enterprise Ch. Education in the mid-20th century is represented by the High Sch and Bunche High Sch. The map also captures the layout of family and community burial grounds, such as Granger Cem and Cole Cem, providing a precise look at the settlement patterns of Camden County before modern development changed the character of these rural districts.
