1944 Map of Ossabaw Island

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Ossabaw Island and the intricate tidal estuaries of coastal Georgia appear here as surveyed in the early 1940s. The landscape is defined by the massive network of the Ogeechee River, Vernon River, and Skidaway River, where historical landmarks like Fort McAllister and Cheves Mill Chimney stand as physical markers of the region's military and industrial past. To the north, established communities such as Vernonburg, Beaulieu, and the Isle of Hope Resort line the bluffs and riverbanks, while smaller settlements like Nicholsonville and Sand Fly suggest the local social fabric of Chatham County.
