1993 Map of Cumberland Island North

About this map

Little Cumberland Island and the northern reaches of the Cumberland Island National Seashore are defined by an intricate network of tidal rivers and salt marshes. The landscape is shaped by the Cumberland River and Brickhill River as they wind through a dense coastal environment protected by a designated Wilderness Area. Local landmarks such as the Little Cumberland Island Lighthouse (Abandoned) and Cumberland Wharf indicate the maritime history of this shoreline, while the First African Ch and Cumberland Cem at Halfmoon Bluff provide critical points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying the island's cultural heritage. Settlement remains grounded at high ground points along the Intracoastal Waterway, including Stockwell Bluff and High Point, where the transition from dense ridges like Sanctuary Ridge to the Atlantic Ocean becomes most apparent.
