About this map

Altamaha River meanders through this coastal Georgia landscape, defining a complex network of wetlands, ridges, and historic river landings. The map reveals a long history of river-based transit and settlement, evidenced by Old Fort Barrington and its associated Fort Barrington Landing in the northwest. To the east, the settlement of Cox sits near the headwaters of McClendon Creek, while smaller landings like Browns Lake Landing and Clarks Bluff Landing indicate the vital role of the water for local commerce and access.

Local genealogy and history are preserved in sites such as Plum Orchard Cemetery, Holland Cemetery, and Manning Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by named ridges and islands, including Hammock Ridge and Clayhole Island, alongside distinct hydrological features like the Snuff Box Canal. This map captures the area's transition from historic river crossings to modern rural residential patterns and recreational spaces at Altamaha Park.
