	Oconee and Altamaha Rivers, Page One.
		The river was in flood, swirling muddy brown.
		As a matter of fact, the river took on a number of different characters, as is a river's inclination.
		What emerged, then, as the new definition of a meandering river, is one whose channel physically wonders from side to side over the years, eroding the bank on one side, accreting new land on the other.

	Altamaha River :: Lumber City - Darien, Georgia
		Formed by the confluence of the Ocmulgee, Oconee and Ohoopee Rivers near Lumber City, the Altamaha River watershed is the largest river system east of the Mississippi, offering priceless habitat along its 140 mile course.
		Focusing on the Altamaha River's complex system of water movement, this study will help to clarify relationships between intertidal creeks and marshes as well as long term trends in land use patterns and the withdrawal of freshwater from the watershed.
		The Altamaha River is a little known paradise for paddling, bird watching, camping, fishing, powerboating, and hiking.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Ocmulgee River
		Southeast of Atlanta, the rivers flow into the impoundment of Lake Jackson and emerge as the Ocmulgee River, which joins the Oconee River 241 miles downstream to form the Altamaha.
		To the Okmulgees the river was known as Ochese-hatchee, or Ochese Creek, which in turn spawned the name that the English traders gave the confederation of tribes—the "Creek people" or Creeks.
		Commercial river navigation of this era depended upon log rafts loaded down with field and farm produce and guided by pole-handling crews who rode their lumber "down to Darien," where it could be sold to sawmills.
