Preliminary Reconnaissance of the Middle or Main, and West Entrances to St. George's Sound Florida

Chart of the Middle or Main, and West Entrances to St. George's Sound, Florida. There are two different views of the entrances to the sound on this sheet. The left chart depicts the western Entrance to the sound between St. Vincent's Island and Georges Island including depth soundings, buoys, bearings, Oyster Reef, breakers, and other aids and hazards to navigation. There is also a note showing the small channel opened up during a hurricane in 1852. The right chart shows the Main entrance to the sound between St. Georges Island and Hog Island including similar notations on bathymetry and navigation. This view also shows the mainland of Florida.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
