1920 Map of Sapelo River

USGS Topo · Published 1920

About this map

The Sapelo River and the winding North Newport River dominate this coastal Georgia landscape, which was surveyed just before 1920. This era shows a transition in transportation, where the historic Dixie Highway and Southern Road intersect with vital rail corridors like the Seaboard Air Line RR. The interior is defined by the massive Bulltown Swamp and Big Morten Swamp, which historically influenced the placement of settlements like Riceboro and LeCount. Along the saltwater sounds and tidal creeks, landmarks such as Sutherland Bluff and the Head of Navigation on the Sapelo mark the limits of maritime commerce.
