My spatial thought process is pretty similar, Jefferson. "North Georgia" (or at least non-South Georgia) stretches further on the West side of the state due to how the fall line impacts topography (think how there are some pretty large hills near Lagrange, but if you go 200 miles nearly due East to Millen, it is significantly flatter).
As a geography nerd I find this stuff interesting as hell.

Me too. And the geography ties into K9's area of expertise as well......
Examples: Oglethorpe builds a settlement in Savannah and then sends a crew up the River to see what's there. Eventually they couldn't go any further because of the waterfalls they hit, so they stopped. And where they had to stop became a place called "Augusta". Same for Macon and Columbus. The navigable ending points of their respective rivers...
I love this stuff.
