//Nature has not blessed the world, with any tract which can not be preferable to it Georgia// //-Sir Robert Montgomery// //The riverhere forms a half-moon, around the south side of which the banks are about forty feet high, and on the top a flat, which they call a bluff. The plain, high ground extends into the country about five or six miles, and along the river for about a mile....... Upon the riverside, in the center of the plain, I have laid out the town.......The river is pretty wide, the water fresh.....For about six miles up into the country the landscape is very agrreable, the stream being wide and boreded with high woods on both sides. -James Oglethorpe//
