About this map

The Ogeechee River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Screven and Bulloch Counties, defining the drainage of this coastal plain landscape. Small agricultural settlements and community hubs such as Cooperville, Dover, and Donegal are linked by a network of rural roads and the rail corridor that cuts diagonally across the terrain. The geography is characterized by numerous bays and ponds, including Jarrell Pond, Mobley Bay, and Morgan Bay, which dot the woodlands away from the main river channel.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Oak Grove Cem, Wades Cem, and Simmons Branch Cem in the north, while Eureka Cem and Macedonia Cem serve the southern reaches. The presence of the Brooks Instruments Company Pond near Donegal suggests local industrial land use alongside traditional farming and timber interests that define the region's character in this 2017 study.
