2024 Map of Wassaw Sound

About this map

Fort Pulaski National Monument stands as a sentinel at the northern edge of this coastal survey, overlooking the complex network of tidal creeks and marshes that define the Georgia shoreline. The landscape is dominated by the Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge on Wassaw Island, where a series of inland ponds like Teal Pond and Usher Pond are accessible only by primitive paths such as Main Road Trl. This area illustrates the preserved natural character of the Sea Islands, contrasting with the residential developments of Wilmington Park to the northwest.
