2024 Map of Sylvania South

About this map

The settlement of Sylvania serves as the primary hub on this Screven County quadrangle, situated where the terrain begins its slow descent toward the complex drainage of the South Fork Ogeechee Creek. Moving south from the town center, the landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads and family-named landmarks that hint at generations of local residence. Names like Goloid Church Rd and Arnett School Rd point to the former social centers of the rural community, while the presence of the Farm Service Agency Interest of Georgia tracts highlights the ongoing importance of managed agricultural lands in the region. Scattered throughout the wooded divides between Freeman Pond and Miller Pond are numerous small burial grounds, including the Double Heads Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem, which provide essential geographic anchors for genealogical research in this part of Georgia.
