About this map

Devereux and the surrounding Hancock County countryside are defined by a dense network of family-held land and ancestral burial grounds. This 2011 survey reveals an incredible concentration of family-named landmarks, ranging from the Bass-Coleman Family Cemetery in the northwest to the John Boyer Family Cemetery in the east. These small, private plots are interspersed with rural church sites like the Hall Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery and the Saint Luke Baptist Church Cemetery, suggesting deep-rooted community ties across the landscape.

The terrain is dissected by numerous waterways, including the winding Town Creek and Zioe Brown Creek, which flow toward the southern edge of the quadrangle near Beulah. Small settlements like Zebulon and Underwood are connected by a web of local roads such as Beulah Hwy and Pearson Chapel Rd. The presence of the Ray Lake Dam and Ray Lake at the southern boundary highlights the local reliance on managed water resources in this agricultural and residential region.
