About this map

The Altamaha River meanders through the heart of this landscape, forming the natural boundary between Toombs and Appling counties. The river valley is characterized by wide wetlands and distinct riverine features like Falling Rocks and Piney Bluff, while the surrounding uplands are dotted with small family and community burial grounds. Genealogists will find a high density of these sites, including Old Campground Cem, Griner Cem, and Moody Cem, which speak to the area's deep-rooted settlement history. In the northern reaches, the small community of English Eddy sits near the crossing of Williams Cr, while the southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of Bay Creek and Roaring Creek. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Joseph Simmons Alexander Senior Memorial Bridge, providing a crossing point over the river's extensive floodplain.
