About this map

The Ogeechee River meanders through this landscape, defining a rural corridor marked by agricultural fields and managed timberlands. The settlement of Old Town sits at a central crossroads, while the river's path is punctuated by distinctive bends known as the Upper Roundabout and Lower Roundabout. This geography of water management is evident in the numerous small reservoirs and family-named dams, such as Hancock Lake Dam and Wommack Lake Dam, which dot the drainages of Dry Creek and Spring Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of the Causey Cemetery near Union Camp Lake and the Street Place Cemetery further south. Long-standing local infrastructure is documented through landmarks like McCroans Bridge and Huddens Bridge, alongside a network of rural routes including Bark Camp Church Rd and Eden Church Rd, reflecting the community's ecclesiastical and social foundations in Jefferson County.
