About this map

Raccoon Bluff and the nearby King Savannah settlement sit at the heart of this coastal McIntosh County survey, where the intricate maritime landscape of Georgia's barrier islands meets the Atlantic Ocean. The map documents the shifting hydrology of the Cabretta Inlet and the marsh-lined margins of Blackbeard Island and Sapelo Island. The intricate network of tidal waterways, including Blackbeard Creek and Cabretta Creek, illustrates the complex salt marsh ecosystem that separates these landmasses from the open sea.

Local navigation and historic land divisions are traced through thoroughfares like King Savannah Rd and Church Rd, while the eastern extent of the map is dominated by the submarine features of Blackbeard Shoal. This modern record provides a clear look at the topography of Nelsons Bluff and the low-lying reaches of Cabretta Island, which remain critical for understanding the evolving shoreline of these protected coastal environments.
