1954 Map of Sapelo Sound

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Sapelo Sound dominates this mid-century coastal survey, acting as a natural gateway between the Atlantic and the intricate network of marshes and hammocks in McIntosh County. The landscape is defined by its transition from open ocean to a complex lattice of waterways like the South Newport River and Wahoo River. On the southern edge of the sound, the Blackbeard Island National Wildlife Refuge preserves a maritime forest habitat, featuring numerous artesian wells and interior freshwater features such as Frog Pond and Reynolds Duck Pond. The map reveals the strategic importance of the Intracoastal Waterway as it cuts through Johnson Creek, while the northern tip of Sapelo Island at High Point looks out over the vast tidal flats and the shifting sands of Dog Hammock Spit.
