About this map

Agricultural lands and creek drainages define the landscape of eastern Georgia near the crossroads of Magruder and Scotts Corner. The area is marked by a legacy of family and community burial grounds, including the Rosier Cem, Bark Camp Cem, and the Cason- Bynes Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in this rural pocket of Burke County.

Water management and local industry are evidenced by the presence of Burtons Millpond and McCullough Millpond, along with The Canal situated in the eastern portion of the survey. These features, along with the meandering courses of Bark Camp Cr and Eightmile Cr, illustrate how the natural hydrology was historically utilized. The network of local routes, such as Rocky Creek Church Rd and Bark Camp Ch Rd, further reveals the social and spiritual geography connecting these disparate farmsteads and settlements.
