About this map

The Altamaha River carves a winding course through this section of Long County, defining a landscape of wetlands and low-lying river bends such as Marrowbone Round and Strickland Bight. Just north of the river, the settlement of Beards Bluff overlooks the water, while the interior is marked by a network of rural roads connecting scattered sites like the small community of Noble and the historic Padgett Cemetery.

The hydrography of the region is particularly dense, with Beards Creek and Mushmelon Creek feeding into the larger river system alongside numerous standing water bodies including Stafford Lake and Kicklighters Pond. The presence of several private and descriptive names like Stooping Gum Island and Tar Landing suggests a long history of local river navigation and timber or agricultural activity. Modern infrastructure is represented by roads like Gum Barrel Rd and Bulldozer Rd, which cut through the drainage basins of Delbos Bay and Jones Creek.
