2020 Map of Tybee Island South

About this map

Tybee Island occupies the northwestern corner of this coastal study, marking the transition between the Georgia marshlands and the open Atlantic Ocean. The settlement pattern at the southern end of the island is clearly defined by a dense grid of streets, including Strand Ave and Chatham Ave, which terminate near the water's edge. This 2020 map documents the reach of US Hwy 80 as it enters the coastal zone, providing a precise record of the developed shoreline within the Sea Islands chain. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the ocean, while the western side follows the winding course of Tybee Creek through the tidal environment. This survey is a valuable resource for understanding the modern footprint of coastal development and maritime boundaries along the Georgia coast.
