About this map

The Ogeechee River meanders through this southeast Georgia landscape, defining the boundary between Screven and Bulloch counties. At the time of this 1918 survey, the region supported a dense network of rural infrastructure, with numerous schools such as Middle Ground School and Captolo School serving scattered farming communities. The Central of Georgia RR and the Savannah and Statesboro RR provided essential transit links, connecting settlements like Halcyondale, Cameron, and Oliver.

Along the riverbanks, river-based commerce is evident through listed locations like Opies Landing and Hendersons Landing. Several old thoroughfares, including the Augusta Road and Louisville Road, converge near the Screven county line. This map provides a clear picture of early 20th-century Georgia life, where faith and education were centered at places like Lee Memorial Church and Green Hill School.
