About this map

Blevins and its surrounding countryside are defined by a complex network of creeks and small family cemeteries that trace the settlement history of northern Hempstead County. The landscape is carved by the headwaters of Terre Rouge Cr and De Ann Cr, with several small water bodies like Royston Lake One and Smith Lake punctuating the western terrain. The town of Blevins serves as the primary hub, anchored by its Po and a grid of streets including College St and S Main St.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the rural landscape, from Maxwell Cem in the north to Mount Zion Cem in the south, along with Shorter Cem and Oak Grove Cem. These sites, along with smaller settlements like Dunlap and Deanyville, reflect a decentralized community structure where local life followed the winding paths of roads such as Hempstead 30 Rd and State Hwy 332.
