USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Tybee Island and its surrounding tidal marshes define this coastal landscape as it appeared in the mid-1940s. The settlement of Savannah Beach occupies the northeastern tip of Tybee, while the interior is characterized by a complex network of waterways including the Tybee River, Half Moon River, and Tybee Creek. This coastal survey, compiled by the War Department and Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, provides an intricate look at the barrier islands of Chatham County during World War II.
