About this map

Deepstep and the surrounding Georgia countryside are defined by a network of creeks and numerous small family burial grounds. The landscape is bisected by the Hancock Co and Washington Co line, where the terrain follows the drainages of Buffalo Cr and Brush Creek. Settlement patterns are scattered, with local history centered around nodes like Linton and Goat Town, and industrial activity appearing at Kaolin in the southeast.

Genealogists will find this 2020 record particularly valuable for its mapping of family-named cemeteries that often go unmarked on larger-scale maps. From the Kilgore Family Cem and Trawick Family Cem Number 2 in the north to the Smyrna Baptist Church Cem near Deepstep Cr, these sites provide a clear picture of multi-generational land ownership. Significant river crossings like Longs Bridge and Thompsons Bridge further illustrate the historical transit routes through this agrarian region.
