About this map

The Altamaha River carves a winding path across this 1970 landscape, defining the borders between Montgomery, Toombs, Appling, and Jeff Davis Counties. This riverine environment is marked by several historic access points, including Halls Ferry Landing, Grays Landing, and Half Moon Landing. The presence of McNatt Falls and numerous creeks like Milligan Creek and Bullards Creek suggests a landscape shaped by water and timber resources.

Family history is preserved through several rural burial grounds such as Moseley Cem, Old Smyrna Cem, and Grace Cem, often situated near community landmarks like Smyrna Ch. Infrastructure in the southern portion of the quadrangle includes an Industrial Railroad and the Bullards Creek Lookout Tower, reflecting the region's mid-century forestry and industrial activity. A remote Landing Strip and multiple jeep trails indicate the utilitarian nature of the backcountry during this era.
