2020 Map of Altamaha

About this map

Altamaha sits at the convergence of several county boundaries, where the Altamaha River carves through the landscape of southeast Georgia. This modern survey illustrates the complex drainage network formed by the Ohoopee River, Slaughter Cr, and Bells Mill Cr. Significant topographical features like Eason Bluff, Iron Mine Bluff, and Moon Bluff rise above the river plains, serving as historic landmarks in an area dominated by rural road networks and agricultural land. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous family-named burial sites scattered across the countryside, including Harris Cem, Stripling Cem, and Widincamp Cem. The presence of the Tippins Lake Community and specialized ponds like Cotton Patch Pond reflects the local land use and development patterns near the river bends.
