2020 Map of Altamaha SE

About this map

The Altamaha River winds through this coastal plain landscape where Appling, Tattnall, and Wayne Counties meet. This 2020 survey documents a network of rural roads and family cemeteries that anchor the local geography. Significant landmarks include the John C Beasley Memorial Bridge and several isolated water bodies such as Bluff Lake and Jessie Lake. The terrain is characterized by the expansive Big Hammock and a series of smaller waterways including Fivemile Cr and Penholoway Creek. Genealogists may find value in the scattered burial sites, specifically the Moody-Tillman Cem, Thompson Cem, and Matlock Cem, which reflect the long-standing family ties to this riverine environment. The presence of Friendship Church Rd suggests the historical importance of community gathering points in this dispersed settlement pattern.
