About this map

The Altamaha River winds through the heart of this coastal plain landscape, serving as the border between Tattnall, Appling, and Wayne counties. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous oxbow lakes and tributaries like Rocky Lake, Jessie Lake, and Watermelon Creek. Near the river's edge, the Big Hammock stands as a significant natural landmark, while the John C Beasley Memorial Bridge provides a vital modern link across the water for travelers on GA-121.

Local history is preserved in a scattered network of small family burial grounds, including the Moody Tillman Cem and O'Quinn Cem, which are tucked away near rural routes like Oquinn Loop and Friendship Church Rd. The southern portion of the map transitions toward the headwaters of the Little Satilla Cr, showing a transition from the dense riverine wetlands to more structured agricultural and timber lands delineated by roads such as Morris Break Rd and Loop Rd.
