About this map

Blythe and Hephzibah anchor this study of the borderlands between Richmond and Burke counties in eastern Georgia. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding into McBean Cr, including Leitners Br, Rachel Br, and Camp Br. This landscape preserves numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial sites, such as Tarver Cem, Killebrew Cem, and Rachels Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research in the rural corridor between Keysville and Ellwood.

A notable modern landmark, the Pea Patch Aerodrome, sits just north of the McBean Cr drainage, highlighting the continued utility of the flat ridge-tops between the creek valleys. Several significant bodies of water, including Union Mill Pond, Lake Inez, and Jolly Pond, are scattered across the quadrangle, illustrating the importance of water management in this agricultural and residential region. The extensive road network, from Deans Bridge Rd to smaller routes like Farmers Bridge Rd, shows the evolved connectivity of these long-established communities.
