1954 Map of Cabretta Inlet

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Sapelo Island and Blackbeard Island dominate this coastal survey, revealing the intricate marshlands and barrier island geography of the Georgia coast during the mid-1950s. The northern portion of Sapelo features the settlement of Raccoon Bluff, while a significant portion of the neighboring island is dedicated to the Blackbeard Island National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is defined by the shifting tidal environment, where Blackbeard Creek separates the two primary islands, and Cabretta Inlet provides a vital passage between Cabretta Island and the sea. Nautical data including soundings and the expansive Blackbeard Shoal indicate the maritime importance of the area. Notable landmarks like Nelsons Bluff and a specifically marked Artesian Well offer specific points of interest for those studying the historical topography and land use of these barrier islands.
