About this map

Buckhead Cr and its many tributaries, such as Rocky Cr and Rosemary Cr, define this rural Georgia landscape at the border of Burke and Jenkins Counties. The area is characterized by large agricultural tracts and family-named roads, including Di Lane Plantation Rd and Kelly Plantation Rd. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are identified, most notably the Big Buckhead Baptist Church Cem and the Fairhaven Cem.

The settlement of Bellevue sits near the eastern edge of the map, while Fairhaven occupies the southwestern corner near Miller Lake. Significant water features like McCullough Millpond and the Knight Lake reservoir suggest a history of water management for local land use. A network of country roads connects these rural clusters, including Porter Rd and Herndon Rd, which intersect the low-lying wetlands and creek basins that cover much of the terrain.
