1993 Map of Altamaha Sound

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Hampton Plantation and Cannons Point sit at the northern edge of the Georgia coastal islands, where the Altamaha River system meets the Atlantic Ocean. This mid-1990s record details a complex estuarine environment defined by shifting sands and protected wetlands, including the Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness Area and the Altamaha State Waterfowl Management Area. Navigation remains central to the landscape, with the Intracoastal Waterway threading through Buttermilk Sound and past Broughton Island. Local history is visible in the ruins near the tip of St Simons Island and the established route of Lawrence Road, while the bathymetric data provides a rare look at the underwater topography of Altamaha Sound and its various channels like One Mile Cut and the Hampton River.
