2011 Map of Hazlehurst North

About this map

The confluence of the Ocmulgee River and Oconee River defines this South Georgia landscape, where they merge to form the Altamaha River. This riverine system was historically vital for transport and trade, evidenced by the numerous landings dotting the banks, such as Town Bluff Landing, Round Bluff Landing, and McEachins Woodyard Landing. The settlement of Tallahassee sits centrally within the quadrangle, surrounded by a network of rural roads like Towns Bluff Rd and Philadelphia Methodist Church Rd. For genealogists, the map is a significant resource, documenting several family-named burial grounds including the Mobley Cemetery, Hester Cemetery, and McEachin Cemetery. The presence of Halls Spur indicates the area's logistical history, while modern landmarks like the Neel Lee Gillis Bridge connect the river-separated counties.
