About this map

Brier Creek winds through the heart of this Burke County landscape, defining a wide basin of wetlands and small tributaries. In the northern reaches, Telfair Woods sits near the headwaters of Beaverdam Creek and the expansive Telfair Pond. The settlement pattern is characterized by numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Alexander Cem, Bethel Cem, and Foster Cem, which are often situated near the local road network. Significant water features like Fenwick Lake and Little Hell highlight the prominence of the creek system in this region. This survey captures the rural character of Georgia's coastal plain, where geographic landmarks like High Head rise above the surrounding swampy bottoms of Rocky Creek and Boggy Gut.
