About this map

The Ogeechee River carves a winding path through this rural landscape along the boundary of Hancock and Warren counties. The settlement of Jewell serves as a focal point near the river crossing, while the small community of Mayfield sits to the north. This mid-century survey illustrates a quiet, agriculture-centered region characterized by numerous country churches, such as Horeb Ch and Martin Tabernacle Ch, which likely served as anchors for the surrounding rural families.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible at the Fish Hatchery and the Substation near Long Creek. The presence of several distinct settlements like Fulsome and Hickory Grove suggests a dispersed but established community network. Navigating the terrain, Georgia 16 and Georgia 123 provide the primary connections through a landscape drained by the Little Ogeechee River and Dry Creek.
