2017 Map of Bull Pond

About this map

The Savannah River forms a winding border between Screven County, Georgia, and Allendale County, South Carolina, defining a landscape of complex wetlands and oxbow lakes. Numerous water features like Dead River Lake, Brierpatch Lake, and Green Log Lake illustrate the shifting path of the river over time. Inland from the river bottoms, the terrain transitions to a patchwork of roads and small settlements, such as Concord Crossroads and Gravel Hill. For those researching local family history, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, including Saint Pauls Cem, Magdalene Cem, and the Striker Cem. This network of small cemeteries, often associated with family names or local congregations like Antioch Cem, points to a long-established rural community organized around crossroads and watercourses like Brier Cr and The Gaul.
