1928 Map of St Catherines Island

USGS Topo · Published 1928

About this map

The coastal wilderness of St. Catherine's Island and its surrounding marshlands are documented here through fieldwork conducted in 1912 and 1918. This reconnaissance captures a transition point in Georgia's maritime history, showing the intricate network of tidal channels like the North Newport River and Timmons River before modern development. Notable human markers include Kollocks House West Gable and Bakers House & Chimney, which offer specific anchor points for local historians tracing early 20th-century residences. Further south, the map details specialized coastal infrastructure such as the Quarantine Stack, Quarantine Flagstaff, and Hospital N.E. Chimney near Sapelo Island, reflecting the era's focus on maritime health and navigation. The survey also delineates established landforms like Walburg Island and Blackbeard Island against the encroaching waters of Sapelo Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.
