1993 Map of Dover Bluff

About this map

Satilla River hydrology and the coastal marshes of Camden and Glynn counties dominate this mid-1990s survey. The landscape is defined by its labyrinthine waterways, including Maiden Creek, Dover Creek, and Umbrella Creek, which carve through low-lying islands like Colonels Island and Jointer Island. Cultural history is preserved through scattered community markers such as Mt Sinai Ch and several family burial grounds including Hull Cem and Whitehead Cem. Notably, the map identifies the Ruins of Old Spanish Mission near Umbrella Point, providing a direct link to the colonial-era history of the Georgia coast. The transition from established river settlements like Dover Bluff to the expansive Hazardous Swamp illustrates the environmental complexity of the Atlantic Intracoastal waterway region before more recent coastal development intensified.
