2020 Map of Branchville

About this map

Branchville and Greenwood anchor this survey of the Georgia coastal plain, where the landscape is defined by the transition from riverine systems to subterranean drainage. The Flint River marks the northwestern corner of the map, flowing along the Baker Co and Mitchell Co border. Further south, the geology shift is evident at Medicine Sink, a distinctive karst feature that illustrates the unique hydrology of this region. Local history is grounded in sites like the Turkey Pen Cem, which serves as a vital touchstone for genealogists and researchers tracing family roots in this rural portion of Mitchell County. The map details a network of country roads and drainage patterns that have shaped the agricultural development and community placement in the area.
