About this map

Doctortown sits at a critical crossing of the Altamaha River, where the J Alvin Leaphart Senior Memorial Bridge and a prominent railroad corridor span the water. This 2011 survey highlights an industrial and riverine landscape dominated by the substantial water management systems of the Rayonier facility, including Rayonier Lake South, Rayonier Lake North, and their associated dams. The surrounding terrain is a complex network of river bends and low-lying wetlands, featuring a series of named islands and bluffs that define the local geography.

Key landmarks such as Linden Bluff and Buggs Bluff overlook the winding river, while the floodplains are dotted with numerous small bodies of water like Otter Lake and Johnson Lake. This map captures the intersection of industrial infrastructure and the natural drainage patterns of the Georgia coastal plain, evidenced by the many named branches like Still Branch and Jones Creek feeding into the Altamaha.
