About this map

Deepstep and Linton anchor this rural Washington County landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of family cemeteries and watercourses. Small settlements like Goat Town and Kaolin highlight the localized nature of the community, while the landscape is punctuated by numerous family burial grounds including the Trawick Family Cemetery Number 2, Stephen Mills Cemetery, and the Kilgore Family Cemetery.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with Buffalo Creek and Brush Creek draining the central terrain and feeding into Keg Creek. The presence of the American Ind Clay Company Lake and its associated dam indicates the local industrial activity tied to the namesake settlement of Kaolin. Transportation is facilitated by a series of regional routes and named crossings like Longs Bridge and Thompsons Bridge, which serve the dispersed farmsteads and rural homes throughout the quadrangle.
