2014 Map of Screven

About this map

Screven and Offerman anchor this portion of the Georgia coastal plain, where the meandering course of the Little Satilla River forms a natural boundary between Wayne and Pierce counties. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous tributaries like Big Satilla Cr, Tiger Cr, and Sixty Foot Br threading through the low-lying terrain. The road network connects small rural communities via routes like Odum Screven Rd and Broadhurst Rd W, while the Doctor McKee Hargrett Bridge provides a vital crossing over the river swamp. Local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, including Moody Cem and Foster Cem, which are tucked away from the main thoroughfares. The settlement pattern follows the high ground between wetlands, showing how the geography of these river basins has historically dictated the placement of homes and transit corridors in this region.
