About this map

Scotts Corner and the surrounding agricultural landscape of the Georgia coastal plain are documented here just as the regional infrastructure was shifting in the mid-1970s. The map reveals a rural economy transitioning away from its rail roots, marked by an Abandoned railroad grade that once served the small settlements of Rosier and Magruder. This area on the border of Burke and Jenkins counties is defined by its deep spiritual and community hubs, with landmarks like Bark Camp Ch and Rosier Grove Ch anchoring the local geography.

Water features dominate the low-lying terrain, with Eightmile Creek and Buckhead Creek meandering through the timbered bottoms. Notable local landmarks such as Burtons Millpond and the curiously named Little Hell Pond provide specific points of interest for those tracing family lands. Small family and community burial grounds, including the Rosier Cem and Cason-Bynes Cem, are clearly plotted, offering invaluable data for genealogical research in this quiet corner of the South.
