2020 Map of Downs

About this map

Williamson Swamp Cr carves a winding path through the center of this rural landscape, marking a terrain defined by subtle elevation changes and significant water drainage. In the northern reaches, Archers Lakes and Brown Lake sit among a network of minor tributaries like Stephens Cr and Kittrell Creek. The small community of Downs serves as a central point, flanked by its namesake Downs Cem and the adjacent Whiteoak Cem. This area of Washington and Jefferson counties is characterized by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, which provide deep genealogical value for researchers of this Georgia interior.
