About this map

Beards Creek and Bull Creek define the low-lying terrain of Tattnall and Evans counties in this mid-century portrait of rural Georgia. The landscape is dotted with small family-named landmarks and local centers of worship, including Mt Zion Ch, Bay Branch Ch, and Smyrna Ch. Small-scale agricultural and homesteading patterns are evident through numerous scattered ponds like Collins Pond and Daniels Pond, alongside several small burial grounds such as Hammock Cem and Smith Cem.

Transportation routes are particularly notable, featuring the Old Reidsville Savannah Rd and a distinct Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the countryside near Deans Crossing. These remnants of earlier connectivity reflect the shift from rail-dependent commerce to the rural road network serving communities like Midway and Jennie. The presence of the Midway Sch serves as a central point for the local population living between the creek basins.
