About this map

Buffalo Swamp and the labyrinthine waterways of the Altama River delta define this coastal Georgia landscape in the early 1990s. The northern edge of Darien and the historic settlement of Ashantilly anchor the southern portion of the sheet, where the land transitions from solid ground to the intricate marshes of Potosi Island and Kidd Island. This map is particularly dense with genealogical markers, documenting numerous small family and community burial grounds such as Ebenezer Cem, Ardoch Cem, and the Cuthbert and Grant Cem.

Evidence of the region's river-based history remains visible in features like the Rifle Cut, while modern infrastructure is represented by Interchange 10 and the Weigh Stations along the highway. Spiritual life in these rural communities is well-recorded, with First African Ch, St Marks Ch, and Emanuel Ch serving as landmarks across the low-lying terrain of the Altama State Waterfowl Management Area.
