About this map

Brier Creek and its many meandering tributaries define the low-lying geography of this area on the Richmond and Burke county line. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and managed water bodies, including Storys Millpond, Goldberg Pond, and Stockton Pond. This hydrological pattern, punctuated by the crossing at Walkers Bridge, reflects a long history of water management for local agriculture and industry.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and historical burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle. Small, often isolated sites such as the Bines Slave Cem, Rachael Tucker Cem, and Walker Scott Cem provide important links to the multi-generational residents of the region. The map also traces the transition from traditional thoroughfares like Old Waynesboro Rd to modern corridors like Peach Orchard Rd.
