About this map

Brier Creek winds through the heart of this Burke County landscape, defining a wide corridor of wetlands and tributaries such as Poleu Br and Chickasaw Br. The settlement pattern is characterized by scattered rural communities like Alexander, Telfair Woods, and High Head, linked by a network of local routes including Thompson Bridge Rd and Hancock Landing Rd.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the density of family-named burial sites distributed across the countryside. For those tracing local roots, the map meticulously records the locations of the Alexander Cem, Hickman Cem, and Wimberly Cem, among others. Water features such as Fenwick Lake and Telfair Pond sit alongside specialized landmarks like Little Hell, illustrating the historic relationship between the inhabitants and the low-lying drainage basins of eastern Georgia.
