     From our time at the Jackson Springs community park we learned about Macon's location on the Georgia fall line. This fall line is the boundary between the Peidmont and the Coastal Plane. The fall line gets its name from rapids and waterfalls that are inland barriers to navagation on Georgia's major rivers.The fall line incompasses cities such as Macon, Columbus, Milledgeville, and Augusta. These rapids and waterfalls arise from the Ocmulgee, Chatahooche, Oconee, and Savannah rivers respectively. They occur in areas where the rivers drop off the hard crystalline rocks of the Peidmont onto the more erroded rocks of the Coastal Planes.
