About this map

Stewart Chapel Baptist Church stands as a focal point in the rural landscape where Laurens, Dodge, and Wheeler counties converge. This modern survey illustrates a region defined by its complex drainage network, where the headwaters of Gum Swamp Creek and Alligator Creek carve through the coastal plain. The distribution of family-named landmarks and cemeteries suggests a long-standing agrarian community, with sites like Harrelson Cem and Burch Cem situated near historical road corridors such as Hugh Burch Rd and Ella Burch Rd.

The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features including Lime Sink Creek and Whitewater Creek, which feed into the larger swamp systems. The road network remains largely local and rural, with names like Jaybird Springs Rd and English Crossing Rd reflecting the traditional landscape and early transportation routes across the creeks. These labels provide essential data for those studying the genealogical and social geography of this tri-county border region.
