2020 Map of Fort Pulaski

About this map

Fort Pulaski National Monument commands the entrance to the Savannah River on Cockspur Island, anchoring a landscape defined by complex tidal waterways and coastal marshlands. This modern survey illustrates the coastal geography where the South Channel Savannah River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The map documents a diverse mix of protected lands and residential growth, from the Tybee National Wildlife Refuge to developed areas on Wilmington Island and Talahi Island. Maritime heritage is visible through features like the Lighthouse Overlook Trail and the McQueens Island Historic Trail, which follows an old rail alignment. To the north, across the state line in South Carolina, Daufuskie Island maintains a more secluded character with Daufuskie Landing and the Mary Field Cem set amidst a network of tidal cuts including Cooks Cut and Walls Cut.
