About this map

Scarboro and Four Points anchor this pocket of Jenkins County, where the eastern boundary is defined by the winding course of the Ogeechee River. The landscape is dominated by a dense network of blackwater drainages including Sculls Cr, Richardson Cr, and Bay Gall Cr, which feed into the area's numerous wetlands and cypress-lined water bodies like Newton Lake.

Genealogists will find a significant number of family burial sites and rural landmarks, including Paynes Chapel Cem, Lane Cem, and Lanier Cem. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted agricultural and timber-based economy, with many small roads such as Newton Rd and E Old Savannah Rd tracing historical paths through the bottomlands. The map also records the transition from Jenkins Co into Bulloch County in the southern reaches, providing a clear view of the regional topography and property divisions.
