About this map

Brier Creek meanders through the wetlands of northern Screven County, defining a landscape of river landings and scattered rural parishes during the late 1970s. The survey illustrates a settlement pattern rooted in small community centers, often anchored by local houses of worship such as Lawton Grove Ch and Wesley Anna Ch. Along the waterways, points like Kittles Landing and Jacobsons Landing mark the historical intersection of river access and land transport near the namesake Jacksonboro Bridge.

Family history is well-represented through numerous burial sites, including the Reddick Cems and Friendship Memorial Cem. The map tracks the transition from the edge of Sylvania into the lower reaches of Buck Creek, where the terrain is punctuated by significant water features like Blue Springs and Indian Branch. This record serves as a detailed view of the county's infrastructure before significant modern expansion, preserving the locations of several country churches like McBride Ch and Goodwill Ch.
