2017 Map of Grays Landing

About this map

The Altamaha River carves a complex course through this landscape, marking the convergence of Montgomery, Toombs, Jeff Davis, and Appling counties. The river's influence is evident in the dense network of wetlands and secondary waterways like Bullards Creek and Little Alligator Creek that dominate the lowlands. At Grays Landing, the terrain transitions from the river bottom to higher ground marked by a series of family-named cemeteries and rural roads. Genealogists and local historians can find many legacy sites, including Moseley Cem, Old Smyrna Cem, and Partin Cem. The presence of McNatt Falls and Grays Landing Lake highlights the unique hydrography of the region, where the slow-moving river system creates numerous oxbows and swampy inlets essential to the local environment and history.
