Bluffton and the surrounding Sea Islands appear as a complex network of tidal waterways and remote settlements in this early twentieth-century tactical survey. The landscape is defined by the labyrinthine passages of the Savannah River, May River, and Calibogue Sound, which served as the primary transit corridors before modern road networks were established. Significant maritime and defensive landmarks are meticulously recorded, including the fortifications at Ft. Pulaski and the guiding Tybee Beacon.
