The Camden County Georgia map places three distinct settings in one frame: the county seat at Woodbine, the Interstate 95 corridor around Kingsland, and the riverfront gateway of St. Marys. Camden occupies Georgia’s far southeastern corner, where the Florida line, tidal rivers, broad salt marshes, Cumberland Island, and the Atlantic coast shape both its outline and its travel patterns. Reading those features together gives the labeled cities much more meaning than a boundary alone.

U.S. Census Bureau figures put the April 2020 population at 54,768 and the July 2025 estimate at 60,143, a 9.8 percent increase from the 2020 estimates base. The Bureau reports 630.36 square miles of land and 86.9 residents per square mile for 2020. These measures belong to different statistical series, so their dates should remain attached whenever they are quoted.
What the Map Shows
Woodbine sits in northern Camden near the Satilla River and serves as the governmental center. Kingsland lies farther south on the inland side of the county, close to I-95. St. Marys occupies the southeast near the St. Marys River and Cumberland Sound. Their triangular arrangement separates the courthouse location from the larger southern population corridor and the waterfront entrance to the barrier islands.
East of St. Marys, tidal channels and marshland open toward Cumberland Island. The National Park Service identifies Cumberland as Georgia’s largest and southernmost barrier island, with maritime forest, broad marshes, and nearly 18 miles of undeveloped beach. What may look like blank space between mainland and island is therefore an extensive estuarine landscape, not an omission.
The file is designed for regional orientation. It does not carry the precision required for navigation, flood-zone decisions, evacuation routing, parcel research, or access to restricted federal property. NOAA charts, FEMA products, Camden County GIS, current road notices, and official installation guidance should be consulted for those decisions.
County Layout and Location
Camden is the southernmost county on Georgia’s Atlantic shoreline. Glynn County borders it to the north, Brantley County to the northwest, and Charlton County to the west. Across the St. Marys River on the south is Nassau County, Florida. To the east, the county extends through tidal waters and Cumberland Island toward the Atlantic rather than stopping at the mainland shore.
I-95 runs north and south over firmer inland ground, anchoring movement around Kingsland and linking the Jacksonville and Brunswick directions. US 17 forms an older local corridor through the Woodbine and Kingsland side of the county. Trips bound for St. Marys and Cumberland Island turn east from that spine and eventually change from road travel to water travel.
The Satilla system defines much of the northern setting, while the St. Marys River marks the state line along the south. Between them, Crooked River, Cumberland River, smaller creeks, inlets, and salt marsh divide the low Coastal Plain into peninsulas and islands. A small-scale outline necessarily smooths this intricate tidal edge, so straight-line distance can understate an actual road or boat route.
Local Context
Created on February 5, 1777, Camden was one of Georgia’s original eight counties; the county government describes it as the second of those original counties to be formed. Woodbine later became the seat, and its historic courthouse was erected in 1923. That history explains why the administrative center remains north of today’s larger cluster around Kingsland and St. Marys.
St. Marys functions as the mainland gateway to Cumberland Island National Seashore. There is no road bridge to the island. The National Park Service says access is by passenger ferry or private boat, with the ferry departing from its mainland visitor center in St. Marys and operating on a seasonal schedule. The water crossing is therefore part of the island’s geography, not merely a visitor detail.
Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, north of St. Marys, is another defining land-use presence. The Navy reports an installation of roughly 16,000 acres, including about 4,000 acres of protected wetlands. The base belongs in a county-level account because of its scale and relationship to population growth, but an orientation map should not be treated as an operational or access guide.
Ways to Use This Map
- Distinguish the Woodbine county-seat area from the larger southern population corridor.
- Trace how I-95 and US 17 relate to Kingsland, St. Marys, and the Florida boundary.
- Locate the mainland departure point before consulting current Cumberland Island ferry information.
- Annotate a lesson on barrier islands, estuaries, salt marsh, and river-defined political boundaries.
- Index place names while reading county history, demographic tables, or comprehensive-plan documents.
For reports and presentations, label statistics with their reference years and distinguish map labels from facts supplied by outside sources. Population estimates, ferry schedules, park access, and road conditions update on different calendars; recording a retrieval date prevents a static image from being mistaken for live guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are Woodbine, Kingsland, and St. Marys positioned?
Woodbine is the northern county seat near the Satilla River. Kingsland is southwest of St. Marys and close to I-95, while St. Marys is southeast on the riverfront near Cumberland Sound. The two southern cities share a population corridor but differ sharply in waterfront access.
Can a car be driven to Cumberland Island?
No road connects the mainland to Cumberland Island, and the public ferry is passenger-only. Visitors depart from St. Marys by ferry or use a private boat. Because operating days and capacity change, trip arrangements should be checked directly with the National Park Service and its authorized ferry service.
Does Camden County end at the mainland shoreline?
No. Its eastern geography includes tidal marshes, waterways, and Cumberland Island. The coast is highly irregular, however, and this simplified image is not adequate for deciding ownership or jurisdiction; official GIS and boundary records are the proper sources for that work.
