2020 Map of Sardis

About this map

Sardis serves as the focal point of this 2020 landscape, situated at a junction of rural roads and rail lines in eastern Georgia. The town is surrounded by a complex network of watercourses, including the prominent Beaverdam Cr which forms a significant portion of the southern boundary with Jenkins and Screven Counties. Genealogists will find notable burial sites such as Sardis Cem and Beech Branch Cem, alongside the Ellis Chapel United Methodist Church located further south. The terrain is defined by its numerous small drainages like Boggy Gut, Slough Br, and Chandlers Br, which weave through a grid of timber and agricultural lands accessed by family-named routes like Tom Bargeron Rd and Joyner-Oglesby Rd. This modern survey documents the persistent rural character of the region where Burke, Jenkins, and Screven Counties converge.
