2020 Map of Hilltonia

About this map

Brier Creek winds through the central corridor of this Georgia landscape, defining the boundary between Burke and Screven counties. The area is characterized by a network of rural settlements and agricultural crossroads, including Sardis, Millhaven, and Hiltonia. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, such as Mount Pleasant Cem, Saint Paul Cem, and Hurst Cem, often situated near older road alignments like Roberts Bridge Rd and Hurst Church Rd. The hydraulic history of the region is evident in named water bodies like Hills Millpond, Millhaven Pond, and Charlie Pond, which suggest a legacy of local milling and water management. Transportation is anchored by historic routes such as Sunbury Rd and the Hiltonia-Perkins Rd, connecting these small townships across the coastal plain.
