2024 Map of Altamaha Sound

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge and the surrounding Wolf Island Wilderness dominate this coastal Georgia landscape where the Altamaha River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The map reveals a complex network of barrier islands and tidal waterways, including the Darien River and Doboy Sound, highlighting the delicate transition between freshwater outflows and the sea. On the southern portion of the map, the northern tip of Saint Simons Island shows a grid of historical thoroughfares such as Butler Plantation Rd and Pikes Bluff Dr, reaching toward Butler Point. The inclusion of the Intracoastal Waterway cutting through Buttermilk Sound underscores the area's significance for maritime navigation. Land-use patterns here are defined by conservation and historical plantation tracts, with names like Cannons Point and Little Saint Simons Island marking the edge of the Georgia coast's inhabited reaches.
