About this map

The Ogeechee River snakes through the eastern landscape of Jenkins County, defining a region where water and timbered bottomlands shape the geography. At the settlement of Scarboro, the river is joined by the Scarboro Branch, while several smaller watercourses like Sculls Creek and Bay Gall Creek drain the surrounding agricultural lands. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by numerous family and church burial grounds including Lane Cemetery, Clifton Cemetery, and Paynes Chapel Cemetery.

Hydrological management is evident at Newton Lake and Milburne Lake, both regulated by namesake dams. The road network, including E Old Savannah Rd and Poplar Springs Church Rd, connects the central settlement of Four Points to outlying farms and tracts. This 2011 survey serves as a detailed record of land use and genealogy in a quiet corner of Georgia, where names like Williams Cemetery and Aycock Cemetery point to generations of local inhabitants.
