About this map

The Ogeechee River carves a winding path through this corner of Middle Georgia, serving as the primary boundary between Warren and Hancock counties. The small settlement of Jewell anchors the east, while Mayfield is situated further north along the river's course. This area is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and historical burial sites, reflecting a landscape defined by generational land ownership and rural communities.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific locations such as the John McCown Gravesite, Gonder-Poole Cem, and the Coleman-Middlebrooks Family Cem. Cultural centers like the Thankful Baptist Church Cem and Durbeys Chapel Cem are prominent, while hydrological features like Hale Lake, Dixon Pond, and the Little Ogeechee River reveal the drainage patterns that shaped the local economy and settlement placement.
