2024 Map of Old Town

About this map

Old Town sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the rural border where Jefferson and Burke counties meet. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Ogeechee River and its complex network of tributaries, including Spring Creek, Three Runs, and Baker Branch. This modern survey reveals a countryside punctuated by small impoundments and natural features such as Wommack Lake, Union Camp Lake, and Boiling Spring. Settlement patterns here are tied to historic crossings and named agricultural points, notably the Upper Roundabout and Lower Roundabout south of the primary settlement. For those tracing family histories or land use in this part of Georgia, the inclusion of the Street Place Cem and Causey Cem provides specific points of reference for genealogical research within the patchwork of private timberlands and rural road networks like Eden Church Rd and Benefield Rd.
