About this map

Cumberland Island National Seashore dominates this coastal landscape, where the northern reaches of the barrier island meet the Saint Andrew Sound. The geography is defined by a network of tidal creeks and bluffs, with High Point and the small settlement of Cumberland serving as the primary points of human habitation. Researchers can identify local landmarks like the Cumberland Cem and the complex system of ridges, including Sanctuary Ridge and E Ridge, which characterize the island's interior.

The map details the maritime environment where the Cumberland River and Intracoastal Waterway navigate through marshy transitions and sand shoals like Horseshoe Shoals. To the east, Little Cumberland Island is separated by Christmas Creek, while the Atlantic coast is marked by features like Long Point and the North Breakers. This survey provides a modern view of the island's tracks, such as Grand Ave and High Point Rd, alongside its natural freshwater features like Whitney Lake.
