2011 Map of Jesup East

About this map

Altamaha River backwaters and the flatwoods of Wayne County define this landscape as it appeared in 2011. The river corridor is marked by a complex network of secondary channels and wetlands, including Old River and the significant landmass of Kentucky Island. Small settlements like Odessa, Gardi, and Pendarvis are linked by the diagonal corridor of Martin Luther King Dr, illustrating the persistent settlement pattern in this part of Georgia. A series of landings such as Mac Fishery Landing, Plank Landing, and Oak Landing point to the river's continued importance for local access and commerce. The map also documents modern infrastructure, including the John Henry Lane Junior Memorial Bridge spanning Penholoway Creek, and various tributary systems like Little McMillen Creek and Gardi Creek that drain the surrounding timberlands and rural homesteads.
