2017 Map of Deepstep

About this map

The town of Deepstep and its surrounding wetlands form the heart of this Washington County landscape, where the meandering course of Buffalo Creek and Brush Creek creates a complex network of marshes. This 2017 survey highlights the area's agricultural and industrial heritage, with the American Ind Clay Company Lake at Kaolin pointing to the region's significant mineral resource history. Local genealogists will find an exceptional density of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as the Thompson Family Cem, Kilgore Family Cem, and Trawick Family Cem No 2, which preserve the names of early settler families across the rural countryside between Linton and Goat Town. The road network, including historic routes like Old Darian Rd and Old Linton Rd, continues to follow the high ridges between the numerous creek branches like Swift Creek and Keg Creek.
