About this map

The Seaboard Coast Line railroad dictates the southern settlement corridor of this Southeast Georgia landscape, connecting the communities of Groveland, Southward, Reka, and the city of Pembroke. This 1976 revision of earlier surveys highlights a rural economy transitioning from its heavy rail-dependent roots, as evidenced by an Old Railroad Grade cutting diagonally through the center of the sheet towards Mitchell Forks.

Genealogists will find a wealth of community landmarks, including Jerusalem Ch, Beautiful Zion Ch, and its accompanying Beautiful Zion Cem. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetland drainage systems such as Bryan Bay, Bulloch Bay, and several named branches like De Loach Branch and Ash Branch, which shaped the placement of early homesteads and church congregations throughout Bulloch and Bryan Counties.
