There is a Landsat photo of the Pleistocene Sea Advance on page iv in the book "Georgia's Hidden Gold", by W.Larry Otwell, that shows a good example of what you are looking for. It is 50/50 easy or not to recognize the feature, according to your having trained your eye....Something you will do by scanning these type shots. By the way, this book is TOPS for the kind of info you are looking for in your interrest in this feature of the landscape! Happy Hunting!!
