About this map

Woodbine sits as the focal point of this orthophotomap, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad crosses the wide, meandering Satilla River. This 1970s record blends traditional topographic contours with aerial imagery, providing a unique view of the transition between the developed town center and the surrounding wetlands of Walker Swamp and Honey Swamp. A dense concentration of spiritual and community landmarks defines the local geography, including Hamilton Chapel, Madison Chapel, and Bible Ch.

The landscape south of the river is marked by several small settlements and family-named features like Billyville, Colesburg, and Ceylon. The map captures a significant moment in regional infrastructure, noting a major highway segment as Under Construction as it cuts through the Wild Neck area. Researchers can trace numerous rural cemeteries such as Woodbine Cem and Green Cem, alongside islands like Grassy Island and Spur Island that dominate the river's lower reaches.
