About this map

The Ocmulgee River and Oconee River meet in a significant riverine confluence to form the Altamaha River, a geographic centerpiece of this south Georgia landscape. This network of waterways, including the winding Dead River and several oxbows like Devils Elbow, historically dictated the patterns of settlement and movement across the Wheeler, Montgomery, and Jeff Davis county lines.

Rural life in Tallahassee and the northern outskirts of Hazlehurst is marked by numerous family burial grounds and community landmarks. Genealogists may find value in the distribution of sites like Mobley Cem, Lynn Cem, and Wilcox and Hall Cem, which are scattered among the agricultural tracts. Transportation is defined by a web of local routes like Bells Ferry Rd and Altamaha River Rd, connecting river landings such as Hinsons Landing Rd and McEachin Landing Rd to the uplands.
