About this map

Cobbtown and the village of Aline serve as central points in this landscape where four Georgia counties—Tattnall, Toombs, Candler, and Emanuel—converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Ohoopee River along the western boundary and the drainage of Beaver Cr and Sandhill Cr to the south. This area maintains a strong connection to its family and community roots, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries scattered across the countryside, including Sunlight Cem, Oak Chapel Cem, and Hebron Cem.

Transport patterns reflect an older river-and-road economy, with the Griffin Ferry Bridge and Coleman Bridge marking vital crossing points over the river. Agriculture and local landownership are highlighted by descriptive road names like Collins Farm Rd and Beaver Creek Plantation Rd. Water bodies such as Stones Pond, Brown Pond, and Mac Mac Lake are interspersed among the wetlands, providing a detailed look at the rural geography of south-central Georgia in the 21st century.
