About this map

The Satilla River meanders through this portion of Georgia, defining the landscape with its series of bluffs and oxbow lakes. Settlements such as Atkinson and Waynesville serve as local hubs, connected by a network of rural roads like Thornton Rd and Old Post Rd. The geography along the river is marked by distinctive elevation points including Honey Bluff, Abrams Bluff, and Flanders Shady Bluff, while the low-lying eastern portion contains the Hayner Swamp.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in the various family-named burial grounds dotting the area, from Ammons Cemetery in the north to Daniels Cemetery and Jackson Cemetery near Salter. Cultural and recreational markers are evident at the Golden Isles Speedway and the river access point at Happy Landing. The map also captures the transition from water to land at Ammons Ferry and through various named water bodies such as Abrahams Lake and Deerwood Lakes.
