1994 Map of Cumberland Island South

About this map

Cumberland Island National Seashore dominates this coastal landscape, showing the complex boundary between the marsh-lined Cumberland Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. The southern portion of the island contains significant landmarks reflecting its private estate history, including Stafford, Greyfield, and the Carnegie Cem near Dungeness Wharf. These sites, connected by primitive roads and a small Landing Strip, contrast with the large-scale military infrastructure across the water. On the mainland side, the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base and its associated drydocks define the western shoreline near Kings Bay. Maritime navigation is central to the area's geography, with the Intracoastal Waterway threading through the sound and past the shifting sands of Stafford Shoal. The survey captures a delicate balance between a federally protected Wilderness Area and the strategic industrial presence of the naval base.
