About this map

The Ogeechee River meanders across this landscape, defining a network of landings and creek junctions that have shaped local settlement for generations. Small communities and rail-side hamlets such as Dover, Cooperville, and Donegal are distributed along the primary transportation corridors, while the riverbanks feature several historic access points including Evans Landing, Dows Landing, and Hendersons Landing. The map reveals a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research into the area's rural history.

Industry and land management are visible through various water features and infrastructure, such as the Brook Instruments Company Pond Dam and the Ricklighter Pond Dam. The terrain is crisscrossed by established routes like Old River Rd N and Five Chop Rd, connecting isolated farmsteads to the larger settlements of Cameron and Eureka. This survey captures the rural character of Screven County, where the transition from water-based river landings to road and rail connectivity is clearly preserved in the spatial layout of the county's landmarks and namesake branches.
