About this map

The Altamaha River defines the southwestern boundary of this Georgia landscape, marking the border between Tattnall and Appling counties. The interior terrain is characterized by a high density of rural community centers, particularly visible through numerous small church and cemetery clusters such as Pine View Ch Cem, Stony Hill Ch Cem, and Hopewell Ch. These sites serve as vital anchors for local genealogy and land history.

Industrial and natural patterns are evident in the Old Railroad Grade cutting through the northern section, while low-lying wetlands like Dinkins Bay and Padgett Bay break up the agricultural and timbered reaches. Small crossroads like Tison and Five Points provide a view of the settlement structure during the 1970s, before modern development further altered the traditional rural connectivity of the region.
