2024 Map of Dewy Rose

About this map

The settlement of Dewy Rose sits at the heart of this landscape along the border of Elbert and Hart counties. The area is defined by a dense network of family-named roads and country burial grounds, reflecting generations of rural Georgia lineage. Notable locations such as Hard Cash and Goss are positioned near the numerous creek branches that drain the terrain, including Little Beaverdam Creek and Deep Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the spiritual and communal geography of the region, featuring several longstanding religious sites like Stinchcomb United Methodist Church and the Whites Chapel Cem. The irregular property and road patterns, such as those found at Thirteen Forks, suggest a history of settlement based on topography and water access rather than rigid grid planning. This survey is particularly useful for those tracing family roots through the many dispersed sites like Liberty Cem and Rucker Grove Cem.
