1958 Map of Cumberland Island South

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Cumberland Island is depicted here in the late 1950s, showing a landscape defined by its maritime connections and large estate wharves. The map captures the island's interior ponds, such as McCall Pond and Johnson Pond, alongside tidal marshes and winding waterways like the Brickhill River and Crooked River. Private landings including Plum Orchard Wharf and Dungeness Wharf suggest a period of transition before the area's later federal protection, when these locations served as primary access points for the island's historic estates. On the mainland side, the Army Terminal at Kings Bay marks a significant military presence, contrasted by the quiet Cem and isolated settlements of the island. The Intracoastal Waterway threads through the sound, illustrating the importance of this sheltered coastal passage for mid-century navigation between the Georgia coast and the open Atlantic Ocean.
