2020 Map of Jacksonboro Bridge

About this map

The city of Sylvania serves as the focal point for this landscape, where the agricultural plains meet a complex network of wetlands and creeks. The hydrology of the region is defined by the winding course of Brier Creek and its many tributaries, including Beaverdam Creek and Buck Cr. Local family names and community history are etched into the map through numerous cemeteries such as Friendship Memorial Cem, Reddick Cem, and Buck Creek Cem, which sit alongside historic crossings like Jacksonboro Bridge. This 2020 survey reveals a rural infrastructure reliant on an intricate system of local roads, such as Brannens Bridge Rd and Tuckahoe Rd, that navigate the low-lying terrain near Blue Springs and Lariscy Lake. The geography illustrates a late-modern transition in Screven County, where traditional land use and drainage patterns persist in a landscape increasingly organized by residential developments and named tracks.
