About this map

The Altamaha River defines the landscape of this Georgia coastal plain survey, serving as a historic county boundary and a driver of local geography. Along the river's winding course, distinctive hydrologic features like Strickland Bight, Marrowbone Round, and Yankee Reach illustrate the complex movement of the waterway through the lowlands. Higher ground is marked by the settlement at Beards Bluff and the presence of several country churches, including New Hope Ch and Ebenezer Ch, which anchored the rural community in the mid-20th century.
