1943 Map of Sapelo River

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Coastal Georgia's intricate network of tidal rivers and swamps defines this 1940s landscape where Liberty and McIntosh counties meet. The terrain is a complex puzzle of islands and necks, including the prominent Harris Neck and Colonels Island, separated from the mainland by the North Newport River and Sapelo River. Settlement patterns are closely tied to both the water and the corridor of the Dixie Highway and the Southern Highway. Significant transport history is evident at Warsaw (Old Darien Jc) and along the rail line at Brewsters Siding and Eulonia Station. Small coastal communities like Riceboro, Seabrook, and Fairhope are connected by local routes such as Walthourville Road and Ferry Road. The prevalence of artisian wells and specific landmarks like the Head of Navigation on the Sapelo suggest a landscape deeply involved in regional agriculture and early coastal trade.
