2022 Map of Drake

About this map

West Fork Drakes Creek and its many tributaries, including Lick Cr and Jakes Branch, wind through a landscape defined by small communities and numerous family-named burial grounds. The map highlights several long-standing rural congregations, such as Old Union Baptist Church and White Chapel United Methodist Church, which served as the social anchors for scattered settlements like Temperance, Matlock, and Gold City. The terrain transitions from the open flats of Plane-O-Field in the north toward the winding waters of Drakes Creek near Horseshoe Bend in the southeast.
