About this map

The Altamaha River defines the landscape of this South Georgia riverland, where the borders of Montgomery, Toombs, Jeff Davis, and Appling counties all converge near Grays Landing. The waterway is characterized by significant bends and secondary features like McNatt Falls and Grays Landing Lake. The distribution of rural landmarks suggests a long-established agricultural community, evidenced by several family-named burial grounds including Moseley Cem, Old Smyrna Cem, and Partin Cem.

Upland from the river, the Bullards Creek Lookout Tower provides a vertical reference point for the surrounding timber and wetlands. The local road network, including Old River Rd and Miles Rd, connects these scattered settlements and cemeteries. Tributaries like Milligan Cr and Little Alligator Cr drain the northern reaches of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology that influenced early settlement patterns in this multi-county border region.
