2011 Map of Rocky Ford

About this map

The Ogeechee River snakes through the southern reaches of this Screven County landscape, defining the character of the river-bottom terrain near Rocky Ford. To the north, the settlement of Woodcliff and the smaller community of Thomasboro anchor a grid of rural roads and timbered tracts. The area is particularly dense with small family-named landmarks and cemeteries, providing an excellent resource for researchers tracing local lineages. Features like Finch Cemetery, Daughtry Cemetery, and the curiously named Peggy Zeigler Cemetery Two are interspersed among the drainages of Horse Creek and Mile Branch. Transportation here is primarily rural, with long stretches of Old River Rd N and Rocky Ford Rd connecting these small hubs across the coastal plain. Significant crossings, such as Copps Bridge, illustrate how the local geography dictates the flow of movement around the primary river channel.
