2011 Map of Oliver

About this map

Oliver and Newington anchor this rural Screven County landscape, where the Ogeechee River and its various tributaries define the local geography. The map reveals a community structured by water and agricultural transport, featuring numerous named water bodies such as Meldrim Millpond, Newton Pond, and Durden Pond. Small named settlements like Stalco, Halcyondale, and Captolo are interconnected by a network of secondary roads, including Old Louisville Rd and Sawmill Rd, the latter hinting at the region's timber history. Notable local landmarks like the Newington Post Office and Union Cemetery provide essential points of reference for genealogists. The presence of several dams, such as the Huggins Lake Dam, alongside crossings like Nelson Bridge, underscores how residents have historically managed the many branches and creeks flowing toward the Ogeechee.
