2011 Map of Altamaha SE

About this map

The Altamaha River winds through this coastal plain landscape, defining a region where water and bottomland geography have long dictated local movement. River access points like Carters Bight Landing and Lower Sister Bluff Landing highlight the historic importance of the river as a transportation corridor. The John C Beasley Memorial Bridge provides the primary crossing point, connecting the southern road network to the northern banks. Inland, the distribution of family-named burial grounds, including the Moody-Tillman Cemetery, Thompson Cemetery, and Warren Cemetery, suggests a deeply rooted rural community organized around family landholdings and small local roads like Quinn Rd and Friendship Church Rd. The landscape is further characterized by numerous water bodies such as Watermelon Creek and the seasonally isolated Rocky Lake.
