About this map

Wormsloe Plantation and the historic settlement of Isle of Hope anchor this 2012 survey of the Georgia tidewater south of Savannah. The landscape is a complex network of marshes and hammocks, defined by the winding courses of the Skidaway River and Vernon River. On the mainland, established residential areas like Pin Point and Vernonburg sit alongside institutional landmarks such as Bethesda and South University.

The map details the modern suburban and recreational expansion onto the islands, most notably at Skidaway Island where The Landings and The Landings Golf Course dominate the northern terrain. Smaller historical sites remain visible in the geography, including the New Guinea Cemetery and Old Church Cemetery. From Butter Bean Beach to the tidal reaches of Green Island Sound, the chart documents the sophisticated integration of coastal living with the sensitive environments of the Intracoastal Waterway.
