Blackbeard Island National Wildlife Refuge dominates the southern coastal reaches of this Liberty County survey, preserving a complex of barrier islands and tidal marshes. The intricate network of waterways including the Sapelo River, Swain River, and the Intracoastal Waterway defines the landscape, separating major landmasses like Saint Catherines Island and Blackbeard Island from the mainland. Historically significant features such as the Barbour Island Airport on Barbour Island and the private network of roads including E Perimeter Rd and W Perimeter Rd on Sapelo Island provide insight into the unique land use and conservation efforts in the Sea Islands chain. Researchers will find a detailed coastal topography, from the Experiment Shoal in Sapelo Sound to the interior wetlands of Flag Pond and North Pond.
