About this map

The North Newport River and South Newport River carve a complex path through the tidal marshes of Liberty and McIntosh counties in this late-1970s orthophotomap. This coastal landscape is defined by its winding waterways, including the Payne River and Timmons River, which isolate high ground like Colonels Island and Harris Neck. The map provides an intricate look at the marsh-to-upland transition, showing the distribution of wooded hammocks such as Cattle Hammock and expansive open areas like Olmstead Pasture.

Cultural landmarks are concentrated near the river landings and small communities of Seabrook, McIntosh, and Sunbury. Notable sites for local history include Lebanon Cem, Palmyra Ch, and the Tidal Community Sch. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, where the terrain begins to consolidate south of the Cross Tide. This survey is particularly useful for identifying historical river access points like Halfmoon Landing and Thomas Landing.
