About this map

Chew Millpond and its contributing waters of Chew Mill Creek anchor the northern landscape of this Jenkins County region, reflecting a historic reliance on mill-driven local economies. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Ogeechee River, which flows through a wide wetland corridor passing the settlement of Rogers. This lowland environment is punctuated by geological curiosities like Big Sink and numerous small drainages such as Crooked Br and Dry Br.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites distributed across the countryside, including Williams Grove Cem near the millpond, Wiggens Cem to the south, and Anderson Cem further east. The settlement patterns at Birdsville and Emmalane are connected by a network of historic routes like W Old Savannah Rd, tracing the transition between the agricultural uplands and the river bottomlands during the early twenty-first century.
