1918 Map of Cumberland Island

USGS Topo · Published 1918

About this map

Cumberland Island is shown here as a maritime landscape of isolated wharves and coastal settlements during the early 20th century. At the north end, a Lighthouse (Abandoned) stands near Long Point, marking a shift in coastal navigation. The island's interior is dotted with small bodies of water like Whitney Lake, McCalls Pond, and Johnsons Pond, which supported the land use of the era. The western shore, buffered by Stafford Island and Drum Point Island, served as the primary interface for transport, evidenced by several maritime access points including Plum Orchard Wharf, Stafford Wharf, and Dungeness Wharf. These docks linked the island estates and the settlement at Greyfield to the mainland via the Cumberland River and Cumberland Sound. The mapping captures a moment before modern development, where transit was defined by the tides and river currents of the Satilla River and St Andrews Sound.
