Altamaha River Swing Bridge, Everett
This Pratt/through-truss swing bridge was constructed, likely in the 1930s, by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.
The bridge was abandoned by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad in the 1980s.
In the heyday of passenger trains, it carried the Orange Blossom Special and other legendary passenger cars over the Altamaha River.
It’s a popular landmark for boaters traveling down the Altamaha to the coast.

Barbour River Landscape, Harris Neck
Though most current web searches return this location as the Barbour Island River, I will go with the designation given it by the National Park Service at the nearby landing: Barbour River. It’s called the Barbour Island River by some, because its course essentially forms the eastern and southern boundary of Barbour Island; because the application of the term river to the course is relatively recent, I prefer to omit the additional geographical identifier (island) from the name.
