Fort Screven stands at the northern tip of Tybee Island, overlooking the strategic waters where Tybee Roads meets the Atlantic Ocean. This maritime landscape is defined by the complex interface of South Carolina and Georgia, where Daufuskie Island and Hilton Head Island are separated by the deep waters of Calibogue Sound. The residential patterns on the islands are visible through modern street layouts like Ave of Oaks and Bloody Point Dr, while the interior marshlands are punctuated by features like Horse Pen Hammock and Spanish Hammock. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Tybee Memorial Cem near the southern boundary of the developed town. The map detail highlights the intricate network of tidal creeks including Chimney Creek and Horse Pen Creek, which have long dictated the movement and settlement of the Sea Islands.
