Does anyone know the rivers and mountains in colonial georgia?

No, colonial Georgia did not have the same boundaries as the current state boundaries. Colonial Georgia had a complicated series of border changes, but if we consider Ogilthorpe’s original Charter, the territory was between the Savannah River and the Altamaha-Ocmugee River, and it extended westward from around Jackson Lake past the Appalachians to the Mississippi RIver. The best map showing the boundary changes over time is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gacolo… The main rivers in what was the settled part of the colony: Ogeechee Canoochee Ohoopee Oconee Etowah Oostanaula As mentioned above, the Appalachian Mtns are included in colonial Georgia. It’s interesting that in 1802 Georgia was the largest state because it included almost all of Alabama and Mississippi.
