1993 Map of Cabretta Inlet

About this map

Blackbeard Island and Sapelo Island dominate this coastal survey, where the intricate tidal systems of the Georgia coast meet the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape is defined by its conservation status, split between the Blackbeard Island National Wildlife Refuge and the Richard J. Reynolds State Wildlife Management Area. Cultural history is noted through several ruins and a lone grave near the western marsh edge, suggesting earlier human activity within these now protected habitats. The eastern shoreline is characterized by significant sand dunes and the shifting shoals of Cabretta Inlet, an area noted as being subject to frequent change. Inland, named clearings like Bourbon Field and King Savannah punctuate the dense maritime environment, while high ground is marked by Raccoon Bluff and Nelsons Bluff overlooking Blackbeard Creek.
