2017 Map of Screven

About this map

Screven and Offerman anchor this portion of Wayne and Pierce counties, where the Little Satilla River and its meandering tributaries dominate the landscape. The geography is defined by a series of bays and swamps, such as Zeco Bay and Mud Swamp, illustrating the low-lying, wetland-rich character of this Southeast Georgia region. The CSX railroad corridor serves as a primary axis, running parallel to the highway through the heart of these timber and rail-dependent communities. Genealogists will find a high concentration of local burial grounds, including Clay Hill Cem, Foster Cem, New Home Cem, and the Offerman Cem. A significant local landmark, the Doctor McKee Hargrett Bridge, spans the wetlands between the settlements, while rural routes like Plantation Rd and Nine Run Rd connect the outlying farmsteads and wooded tracts.
