About this map

Devereux and the surrounding farming communities of Hancock County are defined by a dense network of family-held lands and rural congregations. The landscape is heavily marked by its genealogical heritage, with numerous family burial grounds such as the Bass-Coleman Family Cem and the Thornton Family Cem dotting the countryside. Central to the social fabric are several historically significant churches, including the Hall-Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church Cem and Stanton Grove Baptist Church Cem.

Transport through this part of Middle Georgia is anchored by Ga-22, which connects these small settlements across a terrain carved by Town Creek, Little Creek, and Rocky Creek. Near the southern border with Baldwin County, the community of Beulah centers on the Second Beulah Baptist Church Cem, while smaller locales like Zebulon and Underwood occupy the eastern and southern reaches of the quadrangle.
