2017 Map of Deans Crossing

About this map

Deans Crossing and the surrounding rural landscape of South Georgia are defined by a network of family-named roads and scattered settlements across the Evans Co and Tattnall Co line. This 2017 survey reflects a resilient agrarian pattern where small communities like Jennie, Midway, and Mendes are linked by local connectors such as Bay Branch Church Rd and Durrence Purvis Rd. The terrain is characterized by numerous small bodies of water and creek systems, including Bull Cr, Blocker Cr, and Canoochee Cr, which feed into various ponds like Brazell Pond and Dyess Pond. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several local burial grounds including Union Cem, Kennedy Cem, and Dowdy Cem, often located near the churches and crossroads that have served these communities for generations.
