Summary

Description

This document contains description of vegetation and organic and mineral soil of the Okefenokee Swamp. This report covers the investigations made on a tract of the swamp lying on both sides of the Suwannee Canal on the eastern edge southwest of Folkston. This area consists of a rectangular tract of approximately 12,000 acres, it being about 3 miles wide from the edge of the swamp and about 6 miles long. The soil was examined over this whole tract, its depth determined at the corners of each 40acre square, and other items of interest noted. Samples were secured at various points to represent variations in the character of the soil material and its state of decay.
