Ogeechee

The Ogeechee River rises in the hills of eastern Georgia and flows southeast through woods and lowlands toward the Atlantic. Native towns stood along its course, connected to the wider network of paths across the interior. After the Yamasee War of 1715, some communities left the region for the Chattahoochee. Later eighteenth-century maps still recorded Native settlements and trails in the Ogeechee country, as colonial Georgia expanded inland from the coast.
