2014 Map of Fort Pulaski

About this map

Fort Pulaski National Monument commands the marshes and islands where the Savannah River meets the Atlantic, anchoring a landscape defined by intricate tidal waterways and coastal residential growth. This 2014 survey captures the interface of Georgia and South Carolina, where the Intracoastal Waterway and Fields Cut thread through a series of islands including Daufuskie Island, Jones Island, and McQueens Island. The transition from historic maritime sites to modern suburban communities is evident in the residential clusters on Whitemarsh Island and Wilmington Island, featuring neighborhoods like Golden Isles and River Oaks. On the South Carolina side, Daufuskie Landing and the Mary Field Cem reflect the long-standing community life on these sea islands, accessible primarily by water via the New River and Wright River. The mapping of small features like the Lee Shore Marina and the Spence Grayson Bridge provides a record of the modern infrastructure supporting this coastal environment.
