1954 Map of Shellman Bluff

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Shellman Bluff and the surrounding coastal marshlands are defined by a complex web of tidal rivers and islands during the mid-1950s. This survey, grounded in hydrography from the Department of Commerce, reveals the intricate connections between the Sapelo River, Julienton River, and the Intracostal Waterway as they wind toward Sapelo Sound. Coastal settlements like Crescent, Pine Harbor, and Sutherland Bluff cling to the higher ground of the points and necks, while larger landmasses like Harris Neck and Creighton Island are separated by the Creighton Narrows. Local landmarks such as Friendship Ch, Gould Branch Ch, and several Artesian Wells point to established rural communities. The map also records early industrial activity at a Borrow Pit and various structures including a Rotating Light and several Ruins.
