2017 Map of Bug Island
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Altamaha River winds through a complex network of wetlands and riverine features at the intersection of Long, Wayne, and McIntosh counties. This 2017 survey reveals the intricate hydrology of the Georgia lowlands, where the main channel is flanked by numerous oxbows and sloughs such as Old Hell Lake, Bug Suck Lake, and Steamboat Old River Slough. The landscape is dominated by dense environments like Penholloway Swamp and Gardi Swamp, punctuated by higher ground at Double Yellow Bluff and Bug Bluff. Local navigation and land use are marked by specific river reaches and drifts, including John Lane Drift and Sister Pine Drift. Inland, the road network including Paradise Park Rd and Lord Cemetery Rd serves the rural properties and timberlands bordering the river's extensive floodplain.
