1979 Map of Raccoon Key

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Ossabaw Island dominates this coastal survey, revealing a landscape of dense maritime forests, expansive marshes, and intricate tidal waterways. This orthophotomap combines traditional topographic contours with aerial imagery to detail the island's unique geography, from the interior Spider Ridge to the isolated freshwater Goose Pond. Small settlements and landings like Morell, Torreys Landing, and Horse Hammock are scattered along the western marsh edges, connected by the unpaved Main Road. To the north, the Intracoastal Waterway threads through the Ogeechee River and Green Island Sound, passing the notoriously narrow passage at Hell Gate. The map illustrates a dynamic shoreline where the Atlantic Ocean meets Bradley Point, noting several areas as being subject to frequent change, highlighting the shifting nature of the Georgia coast.
