Tybee Island and its coastal community at Savannah Beach occupy the upper left corner of this survey, which is dominated by the expansive Atlantic Ocean. The map documents the barrier island's southern reaches, where the street grid of the beach town gives way to the tidal marshes and waterways of Tybee Creek. Because this sheet primarily covers the offshore waters and the immediate shoreline, it provides a precise record of the coastal interface and inlet positioning as they existed in the early 21st century. It serves as a specific reference for the layout of the southern tip of the island before any further contemporary shoreline shifts or residential developments occurred.
