About this map

Sapelo Island and Blackbeard Island dominate the northwestern corner of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape meets the Atlantic Ocean. Published during World War II, this map documents the intricate marshlands and tidal waterways of the Georgia coast, featuring navigable routes like Oyster Channel and Buttermilk Channel. The terrain is marked by specific landmarks that reflect early 20th-century coastal navigation and settlement, such as Sand Hill, the Art Well, and named locations including Brinson, Chappard, and Lowe. Triangulation stations and points of interest like Palm 1902 and Palm 1859 indicate a history of careful mapping and monitoring of this dynamic shoreline, providing a clear record of the islands' geography before mid-century changes.
