About this map

The lowlands of the Brier Creek basin dominate this 1964 survey, revealing a landscape of dense swamps and river landings in eastern Georgia. The settlement of Alexander anchors the southwest corner, while smaller developments like Telfair Woods and a Trailer Park emerged along the primary roadways. The area is heavily defined by its rural social infrastructure, with several country churches including Botsford Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and Springfield Ch serving as community hubs.

Genealogists can trace family plots through numerous small burial grounds such as Wimberly Cem, Lambert Cem, and Hickman Cem. Along the creek, evocative place names like Little Hell and Sims Landing suggest a history of river navigation and timber activity. The prevalence of multiple Claypit labels throughout the terrain points to the local importance of extractive industries in the mid-20th century.
