2024 Map of Downs

About this map

Family cemeteries and quiet creek branches define this rural landscape on the border of Washington, Jefferson, and Glascock counties. The small settlement of Downs serves as a central point, anchored by the Downs Baptist Church and its adjacent Downs Baptist Church Cem. The map reveals a land heavily shaped by its waterways, where Williamson Swamp Creek and Kittrell Creek meander through the southern reaches, eventually feeding into the Ogeechee River. The presence of numerous family-named burial sites, such as the John Sparks Cem and Amerson Cem, suggests a long-standing agricultural community where land has been held across generations. In the south, the Fall Line Fwy cuts across the terrain near Halls Cross Roads Cem, marking a modern transportation corridor through this traditional Georgia landscape.
