About this map

The Ogeechee River and its upper tributaries define this landscape at the junction of Hancock, Warren, and Taliaferro Counties. The historic settlement of Powelton serves as a focal point for the western portion of the map, anchored by the Powelton Baptist Church and a cluster of family burial grounds including Burnley Family Cemetery and Battle-Cato Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses such as Beaverdam Creek and Long Creek that drain into the Ogeechee, reflecting a rural Georgia community defined by its topography and ancestral lineages. Dozens of small cemeteries are scattered across the quadrangle, from Crenshaw Cemetery in the north to the Ephraim Ivey Cemetery in the southeast, offering significant detail for genealogists and local historians tracking early families near Shivers Lake.
