About this map

Sapelo Island dominates this coastal survey, showcasing a landscape of tidal marshes and maritime forests in McIntosh County. The community of Hog Hammock serves as a cultural anchor on the island, reachable through a network of roads like Autobahn and Cone Rd. The map reveals a complex system of estuarine waterways, including Doboy Sound and the Duplin River, which separate the barrier islands from the mainland settlements of Valona and Cedar Point.

Historical burial practices are noted at the Old Sailors Burying Ground near the center of the sound. The island's geography is further defined by numerous hammocks such as Moses Hammock and Jack Hammock, along with aviation infrastructure at Sapelo Island Airport and Kenan Field. The interplay of land and water is prominent along the Intracoastal Waterway, where the North River and Hudson Creek meet the Atlantic coast.
