2014 Map of Deepstep

About this map

Deepstep and Linton anchor this central Georgia landscape along the Hancock and Washington County line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably Buffalo Creek and Brush Creek, which carve through the clay-rich soils of the region. The presence of Kaolin resources near Keg Creek highlights the area's industrial importance, while numerous family and community burial grounds suggest deep genealogical roots. These sites, including the Trawick Family Cem Number 2, Old Darien Cem, and Stephen Mills Cem, are scattered across the rural countryside. Small settlements like Goat Town and landmarks such as American Ind Clay Company Lake reflect the specialized land use in this part of the state, where agriculture and mineral extraction have shaped the community structure and road network over generations.
