About this map

The Altamaha River Delta and its intricate network of coastal sounds dominate the landscape of the Georgia coast in the early 1980s. This survey illustrates the dense maritime and industrial geography around Brunswick, where the Turtle River and Brunswick River converge near Andrews Island. The transition from wartime use to civil administration is evident at the Glynco Naval Air Station, which is shown alongside the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.

Farther inland, the rail-dependent growth of small communities like Thalmann, Everett, and Nahunta is traced via the Seaboard Coast Line and Southern Railway. Coastal preservation is represented through massive tidal tracts including the Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness Area and Blackbeard Island National Wildlife Refuge. Historic sites are preserved at Fort Frederica National Monument on St Simons Island, highlighting the region's colonial and strategic significance.
