Sapelo Sound serves as a critical maritime corridor between the coastal hammocks and the open Atlantic Ocean, defining the boundary between Liberty and McIntosh counties. This coastal environment is dominated by a complex network of tidal rivers including the South Newport River, Wahoo River, and Barbour Island River. The map details the intricate geography of the Sea Islands, featuring the northern reaches of Sapelo Island and the expansive wilderness of Blackbeard Island, where isolated water bodies like Flag Pond and North Pond are tucked behind the dunes at Northeast Point.
