2014 Map of Jerusalem

About this map

The Satilla River carves a winding path through this corner of Camden County, defining the local geography with its numerous bends, bluffs, and islands. In the early 21st century, the landscape is characterized by small riverfront settlements such as Jerusalem, Jefferson, and Hopewell, many of which are connected by historic routes like Owens Ferry Rd and Old Jefferson Hwy. This survey provides valuable documentation for genealogists, marking family-linked locations including Baileys Mill Cem and Tompkins Cem. The river's influence is evident in named landmarks like Monfort Island, Long Bluff, and the evocatively named Hells Gate. While modern infrastructure like Ga-110 traverses the territory, the map preserves the names of older landings and bluff settlements such as Clarks Bluff and Bullhead Bluff that reflect the area's long-standing relationship with the water.
