Dixon Bay, GA
Dixon Bay is the site of a Georgia State Wildlife Management Area.
The bay is a fairly good fit to the baySouth archetype shape, although the north-west quadrant has an embedded pair of small bays which disrupt the rim across that arc.
An oblique view of the bay is included in the album, with the 20x LiDAR hsv elevation hinting and the 3x Google Earth elevation exaggeration combining to yield an engaging 3D visualization of the bay.
Sweetheart Road crosses the northwestern end of the bay, and there is Google Streetview Imagery available there. Unfortunately, due to the thick forest within the bay, it is hard to view into the bay from the road to get much of a sense of its vertical relief.
The attached album does have a Streetview image taken taken looking Northeast along Sweetheart Road, which is on the rim. Bay depression is visible within the natural woodland on right. Compare that vegetation with the plantation crop of pine seen on the left side of the road. The attached KMZ file has a placemark for the Streetview location for viewing within Google Earth, or you can browse the area interactively using this LINK.
