1955 Map of Savannah Beach North

About this map

Fort Screven and the Tybee Lighthouse stand as prominent maritime and military landmarks at the entrance to the Savannah River during the mid-1950s. This survey illustrates the intricate coastal geography where South Carolina and Georgia meet, capturing the shifting sands of Tybee Knoll Spit and the protective alignment of the North Jetty and South Jetty. To the north, the tip of Daufuskie Island features Bloody Point, while the southern reaches of Hilton Head Island appear across the Calibogue Sound. The residential and military footprint on Tybee Island is clearly delineated, showing the community of Savannah Beach and its local landmarks, including a Cem and various structures along the tidal marshlands of Crab Creek and Chimney Creek.
