About this map

The Ogeechee River and its tributary Little Ogeechee River define this rural Georgia landscape along the border of Warren and Hancock counties. At the time of this 1970s field check, the communities of Mayfield and Jewell served as the primary hubs, connected by a network of local roads and the CSX rail line. The map reveals a deeply established social fabric, evidenced by numerous country churches such as Trinity Ch and its associated Cem, Thankful Ch, and Horeb Ch.

Economic and infrastructure developments of the late 20th century are visible in features like the Fish Hatchery and a private Landing Strip near Mayfield. These additions contrast with the older agricultural and ecclesiastical landmarks, such as Martin Tabernacle Ch and Millrock Ch, that characterize the Piedmont terrain. The winding courses of Fulsome Creek and Long Creek highlight the drainage patterns that have historically shaped settlement in this corner of the state.
