2020 Map of Isle of Hope

About this map

The Skidaway River and Vernon River carve a complex network of marshes and hammocks south of Savannah, defining the coastal character of this Chatham County landscape. Residential communities like Isle of Hope and Sandfly occupy the higher ground between the tidal creeks, while the expansive Skidaway Island dominates the eastern portion of the map. Genealogical and historic sites are scattered throughout, including the Old Church Cem near Bakers Crossing and the New Guinea Cem in Mayfair. The inclusion of Wormsloe and the community of Pin Point reflects the deep cultural roots of this tidewater region. To the south, the terrain dissolves into the Romerly Marshes and a series of hammocks such as Ritter Hammock and Flora Hammock, illustrating the transition from established suburban settlements to the undeveloped barrier island ecosystems of the Sea Islands.
