2017 Map of Birdsville

About this map

The Ogeechee River meanders through the heart of this landscape, its wide floodplain punctuated by points like Blue Springs and Felix Lndg. Settlements such as Birdsville and Rogers reflect the rural heritage of Jenkins County, where local life has long centered on the waterways and agricultural lands. The topography reveals significant hydrological features, including the Big Sink and the expansive Chew Millpond, fed by Chew Mill Creek. These water bodies and the surrounding drainage of Cypress Creek speak to the region's historical reliance on milling and water access. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds, including Williams Grove Cem, Wiggens Cem, and Anderson Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the families who settled this part of Georgia between the Ogeechee and the Emanuel County line.
