1943 Map of Oliver
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Ogeechee River flows through this World War II era survey, defining the agricultural and industrial character of Screven County. The map captures a moment when rural life centered around an extensive network of community schools and churches, such as Harwell Sch, Goloid Sch, and the Double Head Ch. Transportation is anchored by the Savannah and Atlanta Railroad and the Central of Georgia River Road, which connect established settlements like Sylvania and Newington to river landings and smaller hamlets. Along the riverbanks, features like Hendersons Landing and Bests Bridge indicate the importance of water access for the local economy. The landscape is also marked by several mill ponds and creeks, including Meldrim Mill Pond and Buck Creek, reflecting a region tied closely to its natural water systems and timber resources.
