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.
