About this map

The Altamaha River forms at the confluence of the Ocmulgee River and Oconee River in this riverine landscape where Jeff Davis, Wheeler, and Montgomery counties meet. The confluence creates a complex network of wetlands and backwaters, including features like Devils Elbow and the Dead River. To the south, the settlement of Tallahassee is surrounded by family-named landmarks and cemeteries, reflecting the rural heritage of the region.

Transport across the waterways is anchored by the Neel Lee Gillis Bridge, while the northern edge of Hazlehurst appears at the southern map margin. For genealogists, the map is a primary source for locating scattered burial sites such as Wilcox and Hall Cem, Hester Cem, and Rolland Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous tributaries like Mobley Mill Creek and Gully Creek that drain into the major river systems.
