2024 Map of Osierfield

About this map

The settlement of Osierfield sits at the junction of several rural routes along the county line in southern Georgia. This landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the Seventeen Mile River and Little Sturgeon Creek, where the terrain transitions from upland agricultural tracts into the wetland basins of Faulkner Lake South and Jowers Lake North. The map reveals a dense network of family-named rural infrastructure, including many burial grounds and places of worship that speak to the long-standing community ties in this region. Numerous church sites, such as the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church and New Bethel Church, serve as focal points for the scattered homesteads. The water-dependent early industry of the area is still visible in the naming of Dicksons Mill Creek and Dicksons Millpond, while the prevalence of cemetery sites like Old Union Cem and Saint Pauls Cem offers significant data for genealogical research.
