About this map

The Atlantic Ocean dominates this coastal survey, which focuses on the offshore waters of Georgia’s maritime boundary. Published by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 21st century, the map provides a dedicated look at the open sea and the continental shelf, a region vital for nautical navigation and ecological monitoring. Unlike mainland quadrangles filled with roads and structures, this specific sheet serves as a primary reference for the bathymetry and hydrographic character of the waters south of the major barrier islands. It records a precise moment in the shifting coastal environment of Chatham County, documented using satellite imagery and modern elevation datasets to assist in tracking long-term changes in the Atlantic coastline.
