About this map

The Ogeechee River and its accompanying Dead River channel flow through the heart of this East Georgia landscape, defining the jurisdictional boundaries between Burke, Emanuel, and Jenkins counties. The settlement of Midville serves as a primary hub, characterized by its traditional grid and proximity to the S Railroad St corridor. The surrounding countryside is deeply etched with family history, evidenced by a high density of small burial grounds such as Murphree Cem, Nasworthy Cem, and Brack Cem.

Tracing the rural routes reveals a network of water features including Wells Pond, Wig Lake, and several creek systems like Seals Cr and Big Long Cr. To the southeast, the small community of Herndon sits near the river, while Three Points marks a junction in the southwest. This documentation of contemporary land use shows a mix of agricultural fields and extensive wetlands, particularly concentrated along the Bark Camp Cr drainage and the river's floodplains.
