1993 Map of Sea Island

About this map

Simons Island and Little Saint Simons Island are separated by the complex tidal reaches of the Hampton River in this detailed topographic and bathymetric study. The map illustrates the developed residential and recreational character of the coastline, featuring the Golf Course at Sea Palms and the exclusive stretch of Sea Island Beach. Local history is preserved in markers such as German Village and Harrington, along with St Andrews Ch and an adjacent Cem. The hydrographic data provides depth contours for the Atlantic Ocean and major channels like Village Creek and the Blackbank River. Coastal change is a constant theme, with notes indicating that areas near Pelican Spit and Goulds Inlet are subject to frequent change. The presence of the US Coast Guard Station on the southern end of the map emphasizes the maritime importance of the sound.
