About this map

Sandy Bottom sits at the edge of a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and water management in rural Atkinson and Clinch Counties. The western portion of the sheet is dominated by the large Guest Millpond, while the surrounding terrain is a mosaic of cypress-rich features like Old Ninety Bay, Pee Dee Bay, and Sweetgum Bay. These bay features, characteristic of the Georgia coastal plain, represent elliptical depressions that shape the local drainage and land use patterns.

A network of local roads, including the Cogdell Hwy and the historic Stagecoach Rd, connects these remote reaches. Small watercourses like Red Bluff Cr and Stump Cr thread through the pine-dominated landscape between Hog Bay and the northern reaches of Arabia Swamp. The map clearly delineates the county line where it intersects with the numerous bays and creeks that have long dictated the movement and settlement of this South Georgia region.
