1978 Map of Fort Pulaski

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Fort Pulaski National Monument anchors this 1970s orthophotomap, showing the historic fortification standing at the mouth of the Savannah River. This specific survey style blends traditional topographic data with aerial photography, revealing the intricate marshland hydrology where the Wright River and New River weave through the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies small burial sites like Mary Field Cem and Union Chapel Cem on Daufuskie Island. The landscape is a complex network of natural waterways and human-engineered cuts, including Walls Cut and Fields Cut, which facilitate the Intracoastal Waterway. Infrastructure footprints are evident in the Old Railroad Grade and the Fort Pulaski Grade, tracing the historical terrestrial routes across McQueens Island toward the Atlantic Ocean and the navigational aids at Tybee Knoll Spit.
