About this map

The Altamaha River dominates this 1970 landscape, winding through a complex network of county lines where Jeff Davis, Toombs, Montgomery, and Appling counties meet. This river-focused economy is marked by numerous historic river access points, including Halls Ferry Landing, Grays Landing, and Half Moon Landing. The presence of McNatt Falls suggests a break in the river's steady flow, a vital landmark for navigation and local history.

Away from the water, the terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands like Bullards Creek and Milligan Creek. For family historians, the sheet is exceptionally well-documented with rural burial sites such as Old Smyrna Cem, Moseley Cem, and Grace Cem. Modern industrial developments are visible through the Industrial Railroad and a prominent pipeline that cuts across the southern timberlands near the Bullards Creek Lookout Tower.
