About this map

The Ogeechee River snakes through the center of this Jenkins County landscape, defining the character of the region with its various crossings and riverfront landmarks. Near Rogers, the river features Rogers Crossing, while further downstream, local access points like Bennetts Landing, Kents Landing, and Lane Landing illustrate the enduring importance of the waterway for transport and recreation. To the north, the water management history of the area is evident in the Brinson Lake Dam and the Chew Millpond Dam, which control the flow of Chew Mill Creek.

Family history is well-preserved through several burial grounds, including Law Cemetery in the northwest, Anderson Cemetery to the east, and Wiggens Cemetery located near the intersection of Brinson Ln and Thomas Rd. Small settlements like Birdsville and Emmalane anchor the rural road network, which is punctuated by unusual geological features such as the Big Sink. The presence of the Birdsville Airport near the northern boundary reflects a mid-century layer of infrastructure over this traditionally agricultural and river-oriented Georgia terrain.
