2011 Map of Jekyll Island

About this map

Jekyll Island dominates this coastal landscape, separated from the mainland by a complex network of salt marshes and tidal creeks. The island's development as a destination is evident through features like the Cherokee Campground, the Jekyll Island Airport, and the Jekyll Island Post Office. Local history is anchored at the DuBignon Cemetery, a reminder of the island's earlier plantation era. Transport to this barrier island is facilitated by the M E Thompson Memorial Bridge, while the massive Sidney Lanier Bridge spans the Brunswick River to the north, connecting the region. The interior is defined by winding water bodies like Jointer Creek and the Little Satilla River, while the eastern shore meets the Atlantic Ocean at Saint Andrew Beach. This map illustrates the intersection of modern recreation and historical land use along the Intracostal Waterway.
