1945 Map of St. Catherine's Island

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

St Catherines Island dominates this coastal landscape, defined by its intricate network of tidal waterways and maritime forests during the mid-1940s. The Army Map Service compiled this data from aerial photography and earlier 1912 surveys, revealing the isolated geography of the Georgia Sea Islands. Specific structural landmarks provide rare genealogical and architectural detail, such as Bakers House N Chimney near Harris and Kollocks House West Gable on the island's interior. The map captures a moment before modern development, where Art Wells and hammocks like McQueens Hammock dot the terrain. To the south, Black Beard Island features a Quarantine Flagstaff and Hospital N Chimney, suggesting its specialized maritime use. The complex hydrology of St Catherines Sound and the South Newport River illustrates the transition from the Atlantic Ocean to the mainland marshes of Liberty and Mcintosh counties.
