About this map

Tybee Lighthouse stands as a sentinel over the shifting shoals where the Georgia and South Carolina coastlines meet. This 2011 survey illustrates the coastal development of Tybee Island, featuring the historic structures of Fort Screven and the residential street networks of Lewis Ave and 8th ST. Across the waters of Calibogue Sound, the southern tip of Daufuskie Island and the resort infrastructure of South Sea Pines reveal the high-density land use of the South Carolina Barrier Islands.

The maritime character of the region is defined by complex navigational aids like the Jones Island Range and Bloody Point Range. Inshore, the map details the intricate tidal geography of Horse Pen Hammock and Spanish Hammock, separated by a web of waterways including Chimney Creek and Crab Creek. This data provides a detailed record of shoreline morphology, from the Tybee Knoll Spit to the expansive Barrett Shoals.
