1943 Map of St Catherines Island

About this map

St Catherines Island and its surrounding coastal waterways dominate this mid-century survey of the Georgia coastline. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tidal rivers and creeks, including the North Newport River, Wahoo River, and Timmons River, which isolate numerous smaller landmasses like Walburg Island and Moss Island. Evidence of maritime activity and early infrastructure is scattered throughout the barrier islands, from the Quarantine Flagstaff on the southern tip of the quadrangle to several Art Wells used for water access.
