Darien and the river delta that defines it are captured here in a complex network of marshes, islands, and historical sites. The landscape is dominated by the Altamaha State Waterfowl Management Area, which spans numerous islands including Generals Island, Butler Island, and Rhetts Island. This intricate estuarine environment reflects centuries of coastal history, from the Fort King George State Historic Site at the mouth of the Darien River to the Santo Domingo Mission Ruins further inland. Genealogy and local history are preserved through numerous burial grounds such as Indian Cem, the Old Slave Cem, and Freedman Cem. To the south, the transition into industrial and modern use is evident at the Glynco Jetport and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, marking the boundary between McIntosh and Glynn counties.
