About this map

The Altamaha River carves a serpentine path through the center of this landscape, marking the boundary between Toombs and Appling counties. This riverine environment is defined by expansive wetlands and named bluffs, including Piney Bluff and the distinctively titled Falling Rocks. Settlement is concentrated north of the water around English Eddy, while the rural south is dotted with small family and community burial sites like Benton Cem and Moody Cem.

Transport across the Altamaha is facilitated by the Joseph Simmons Alexander Senior Memorial Bridge, connecting a network of local roads such as Belly Acres Rd and Hatch Pkwy N. Genealogists will find a high density of historical markers, particularly the Old Campground Cem and several smaller plots including Griner Cem and Mann-Oquin Cem, which reveal the deep-rooted family history of this river valley.
