2020 Map of Dewy Rose

About this map

Dewy Rose and the surrounding Elbert County countryside characterize this part of Georgia, where small communities and historical family burying grounds define the landscape. The geography is shaped by the winding paths of Beaverdam Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Beaverdam Cr and Gum Log Br. Along the primary thoroughfares, older settlements like Hard Cash, Goss, and the descriptive Thirteen Forks serve as local landmarks. The area's social history is deeply rooted in its religious sites, such as the Stinchcomb United Methodist Church, and a high concentration of cemeteries including Ruckers Grove Cem and Oak Grove Cem. These sites, along with family-named roads like Thurmon Adams Rd and Allen Oglesby Rd, suggest a long-standing rural community structure that persisted into the twenty-first century.
