About this map

The southern portion of Sylvania serves as the primary hub on this late 1970s topographical survey, where the Central of Georgia railroad tracks intersect with established regional highways. Moving away from the town, the landscape transitions into a network of small agricultural settlements and family-named landmarks. The area is dotted with numerous country churches and burial grounds, such as Double Heads Ch and the Zeigler Cem, which provide significant data points for local genealogy.

Drainage systems define the rural terrain, with water bodies like Lee Pond and tributaries such as Hen Coop Branch and Ogeechee Creek carving through the countryside. This era shows the continued presence of smaller rural institutions like the Arnett Sch alongside newer infrastructure, including a prominent pipeline and a landing strip, illustrating the mid-century evolution of Screven County's transport and utility networks.
