1957 Map of Raccoon Key

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Ossabaw Island dominates this 1950s survey, revealing a landscape defined by saltwater marshes, maritime forests, and tidal estuaries. The island's interior is navigated by a specialized network of paths including Cabbage Garden Road and Main Road, which connect isolated sites like Middle Place and Torreys Landing. This environment reflects the historic coastal land use of Georgia's Sea Islands, where agricultural efforts and small settlements were intricately tied to the surrounding waterways and natural ponds like Egret Pond and Rice Pond. To the north, the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through Green Island Sound, marking the vital maritime corridor between the mainland and the Atlantic Ocean. The topography shows a transition from the marshy Middle Marsh Islands to the firm ground of Spider Ridge, illustrating the geological complexity of this barrier island ecosystem.
