About this map

Rocky Ford and the surrounding Screven County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Ogeechee River, which forms the boundary with Bulloch County. This 2020 survey illustrates a rural geography anchored by small settlements like Woodcliff, Thomasboro, and Scarboro, where the land is deeply marked by creek systems including Little Horse Creek and Horse Cr. The area’s genealogical value is evident in the numerous family-named burial grounds dispersed across the quadrangle, such as the Peggy Zeigler Cem Two, Daughtry Cem, and Finch Cem.

Transportation and utility are concentrated around Rocky Ford, where Main St and Brinson St serve as local hubs. The interior terrain features interesting landmarks like Negro Island and the Pegasus Ranch Airport, while Copps Bridge provides a vital crossing over the Ogeechee. The network of local roads, such as Old Rocky Ford Rd and Millerville Rd, connects these disparate farmsteads and historic communities through a landscape of wetlands and tributaries like Douglas Br and Mile Br.
