2024 Map of Roper

About this map

Snipesville and the crossroads at Roper define the settlement patterns of this Jeff Davis County landscape. The terrain is intricately carved by several waterways, including the broad reaches of Hurricane Creek and its tributaries like Old Field Branch and Fox Branch. Agriculture and timber interests are evident through a dense network of local roads such as Kight Sellers Cir, Ussery Rd, and Saint Matthews Church Rd, reflecting the modern rural infrastructure of south-central Georgia. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies family-named sites and resting places, notably the Harris and McDew Cem and Hinson Cem. Evidence of past river crossings remains at Burketts Ferry Lndg on the edge of the Telfair Co line, while recreational or agricultural water management is seen at Okuinn Lake.
