Ocmulgee National Monument

When the indigenous people of the now Macon area settled, they mostly settled along the geographical fall lines. There are many different reasons for this. Settling on the fall line, a geological boundary usually marked with a river, provides a lot more opportunity for prosperity for the people. Not only did the indigenous people have two types of soil to plant anything and everything on either side of the river, they had a mode of transportation. The river provided food and also transport. It helped the people to prosper. This fall line runs just through the area of the Ocmulgee National Monument. This monument shows some of the formations that the indigenous people formed. It shows the area and provides more insight into the people through the history and culture of the area.
