About this map

The Altamaha River carves a winding path through this region where Toombs, Tattnall, and Appling counties meet. The landscape is defined by its riparian complexity, featuring numerous bluffs such as Eason Bluff and Iron Mine Bluff that rise above the southern riverbanks. Away from the water, the settlement of Altamaha sits at a crossroads, surrounded by a dense network of family-named roads like Ba Darley Rd and Elza District Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the various districts, including Harris Cem, Stripling Cem, and Woods Cem. The hydrology is equally detailed, showing managed waters such as Big Club House Pond and Downstream Twin Pond alongside natural tributaries like Slaughter Creek and Bells Mill Cr. The map illustrates a rural Georgia landscape where timber and traditional land divisions remain central to the local geography.
