About this map

The town of Burton serves as the central hub of this agricultural and creek-carved landscape in Washington County. At the heart of the settlement, the Burton Commercial Historic District and the Burton Farmers Gin stand as focal points of the local economy and history. The surrounding countryside is defined by several small communities and family-named landmarks, including the settlements of Union Hill to the west and Longpoint to the north near Lee Lake.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the area, including Bethlehem Cemetery, Oak Hill Cemetery, Bethany Cemetery, and the Broesche Cemetery. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Mayfield Creek, Indian Creek, and East Mill Creek winding toward the south, where Rocky Creek and Nelms Lake characterize the lower terrain. This documentation of the area's rural road network, from Old Mill Creek Rd to Hohenwalde School Rd, provides a clear view of how these disparate family farms and historic sites were linked into the twenty-first century.
