2014 Map of Altamaha Sound

About this map

Saint Simons Island and its northern reaches define the southern half of this coastal survey, where the Hampton River and Altamaha Sound meet the Atlantic. The landscape is a complex network of barrier islands and tidal marshes, featuring major landforms like Wolf Island, Rockdedundy Island, and Little Saint Simons Island. At Cannons Point and Butler Point, the map documents the modern residential street grid including Stillwater Dr and Cannons Point Rd, providing a clear look at how human settlement interacts with the shifting waterways of the Georgia coast. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through Dolbow Island, serving as a vital artery between the mainland and the sea. The boundary between Mcintosh Co and Glynn Co winds through the South Altamaha River, illustrating the political divisions of these estuarine environments.
