Broxton Rocks Mitigation Bank (Broxton Rocks) is approximately 1,591 acres on the southeastern bank of the Ocmulgee River. It is located contiguous with the Horse Creek Wildlife Management Area to the north, and the Broxton Rocks Preserve to the south. The geology of this region is unique to South Georgia. The Bank lies near a 4- mile long sandstone outcropping of the Altamaha Grit, which is approximately 15,000 square miles of sandstone beneath Georgia’s Coastal Plain. The bank site is comprised of seepage streams, associated hardwood wetland forest floodplain, and forested upland and wetland riparian buffers.
