About this map

The Altamaha River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Long and Wayne Counties, defining a landscape of dense river bottoms and industrial water management. The settlement of Doctortown sits at a critical junction where the CSX railroad crosses the river, a site historically vital for transit and the local timber and pulp industries. Nearby, Rayonier Lake and Rayonier Lake South indicate the footprint of significant land use tied to these resources.

The terrain is dominated by a complex network of sloughs, lakes, and named islands such as Knee Buckle Island and Hanner Island. To the northeast, Ludowici serves as the regional hub, connected to the river settlements by a grid of local roads like Doctortown Rd and Hughes River Rd. The map detail preserves the nomenclature of the wetlands, from Patterson Swamp to the high ground of Griffin Ridge, providing a clear record of the area's geography in the early 21st century.
