About this map

The confluence of the Oconee River and the Ocmulgee River forms the headwaters of the Altamaha River in this rural stretch of Jeff Davis, Wheeler, and Montgomery counties. This river junction is a focal point of the local geography, featuring the Town Bluff Ferry and the nearby high ground of Town Bluff. The landscape is defined by its water-bound borders and the winding course of Gully Creek, which drains toward the southern edge of the sheet near Hazlehurst.

Family history is preserved through numerous small burial grounds such as Mobley Cem, McEachin Cem, and Wilcox and Hall Cem. The settlement of Tallahassee sits centrally, surrounded by a network of rural routes like Tallahassee Church Rd and McEachin Landing Rd. These roads often lead to historical landing sites, reflecting the era's reliance on river access for commerce and transport across the three-county boundary line.
