1954 Map of Sapelo Sound

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Blackbeard Island National Wildlife Refuge dominates the southern reaches of this mid-century survey, preserving a complex system of maritime forests and wetlands including Flag Pond and North Pond. The coastal geography is defined by a dense network of tidal channels such as the South Newport River and Wahoo River, which weave between Sapelo Island, Wahoo Island, and St Catherines Island. Navigation was central to this area's identity, evidenced by the prominent Intracoastal Waterway route and numerous markers like Tide Rips and Dog Hammock Spit. The presence of scattered Artesian Wells and specific landing points like the Ramp on Barbour Island indicates the specialized infrastructure required for life and conservation in this amphibious McIntosh County landscape.
