About this map

Jekyll Island is defined by its complex maritime geography where the Brunswick River and Jekyll Creek meet the Atlantic Ocean. This survey captures the intricate network of tidal creeks and marshes including Du Bignons Creek and Cobb Creek, highlighting the delicate interface between the mainland and the sea. The northern end of the island features historical landmarks like the DuBignon Cem, reflecting the area's long-standing family estates.

Modern infrastructure is clearly visible, from the Sidney Lanier Bridge spanning the water to the Jekyll Island Airport. The map traces the residential and recreational layout of the island, following roads like Beach View Dr and Riverview Dr toward the southern tip at Jekyll Point. Large uninhabited expanses such as Jointer Island and Cedar Hammock illustrate the preservation of the coastal ecosystem adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway.
