1978 Map of Sylvania North

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The rural agricultural landscape of Screven County is anchored here by the community of Hilltonia, where the terrain is defined by the branching networks of Ogeechee Creek and Beaverdam Creek. In the late 1970s, the area retained a high density of country churches and family-named cemeteries, which serve as critical markers for local genealogy. Notable landmarks include Little Bethel Ch near Bascom, while the southern reaches of the map show the edge of Sylvania and local recreational spots like the Brier Creek Country Club and a Drive-in Theater. The map captures a transitional era of rural infrastructure, with small crossroads such as Lewis and Substa connected by a web of light-duty and unimproved roads. Prominent family names are preserved through landmarks like Lariscy Grove Ch and Waters Grove Cem, offering a detailed view of the county's social geography before late-century modernization.
