- HISTORIC ROADS AND INDIAN
TRAILS
At this point, two historic roads,
the Darien to Milledgeville and the King Road, merged to form
what is now Highway 301. The Darien to Milledgeville Road, established
before 1816, later became a part of the Darien to Macon Stage
Road. The King Road, built in the 1820s, was a higher route leading
from the Great Southern Road at the Coast into the Interior.
Here, also, the roads crossed two
old Indian trails, the Doctortown Path linking Savannah with
the Doctortown crossing on the Altamaha River, and the trail
from Savannah to Beard's Bluff on that stream.
