About this map

The Altamaha River meanders through this South Georgia landscape, serving as the primary geographic divide between Toombs and Appling counties. Along its northern banks, the settlement of English Eddy appears as a focal point of local history, flanked by the English Eddy Ch and nearby Taylor Chapel. The interior terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages including Cobb Creek and Bells Mill Creek, with numerous family and community landmarks such as Smith Cem, Moody Cem, and Old Campground Cem scattered throughout the pine-heavy lowlands. Industrial modernization is evident near the river's edge, where a large Powerplant and associated Radio Tower installations stand in contrast to older rural landmarks like Falling Rocks. The map also documents the era's infrastructure with an Industrial road and a prominent Pipeline cutting through the southern timberlands near Davis.
