1954 Map of Doboy Sound

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Sapelo Island dominates this coastal survey, revealing the intricate geography of the Georgia sea islands in the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by a complex network of tidal passages, including the Intracoastal Waterway as it winds through Old Teakettle Creek and Doboy Sound. On the eastern shores, the community of Sapelo and the settlement at Hog Hammock appear alongside private roads and landing fields, while the mainland village of Valona serves as a western anchor near Elm Grove Ch. The map provides detailed soundings and highlights the numerous hammocks and islands—such as Pumpkin Hammock, Mary Hammock, and Creighton Island—that characterize this salt marsh environment. This survey captures the region before modern development, showing the reliance on water transport and the isolated nature of the barrier island settlements.
