1979 Map of Dover Bluff

About this map

Hazzards Neck and the meandering reaches of the Little Satilla River dominate this 1970s orthophotomap, where the Georgia coast dissolves into a complex network of salt marshes and tidal creeks. This specific survey type overlays topographic contours and bathymetric soundings onto aerial photography, providing a clear view of the transition between solid ground and the wetlands of Colonels Island and Jointer Island. The landscape is dotted with small, family-named landings and points of interest such as Hickory Bluff and Piney Bluff, reflecting a deeply rooted coastal community. Notable for local historians are the Old Spanish Mission Ruins near Honey Creek, alongside spiritual and social centers like Mt Sinai Ch and Ella Park Ch. The map also captures infrastructure like McCarthy Bridge and the Georgia Conference Center, while documenting the precise locations of the Hull Cem and Ella Park Cem.
