About this map

The settlement of Gough serves as a central hub for this rural Burke County landscape, where the intersection of Ga-305 and Ga-80 organizes the surrounding agricultural and timber lands. This 2014 survey reveals a dense concentration of lineage markers, notably the Gough Family Cem and the Smith Family Cem, alongside several others like the Joan Society Cem and Sheppard Place Cem. These family burial grounds, scattered across the uplands between Rocky Cr and Buckhead Cr, offer a clear map of the area's long-term land ownership and community clusters.

Water plays a primary role in the local geography, with numerous named branches and creeks like Reubens Br and Thornton Cr feeding into the larger systems. Further east, the small community of Drone sits along Ga-24, marked by the Casevill Cem. Natural features such as Palmer Spring and Hills Pond provide insight into the local hydrology, while the network of named roads, including Old Louisville Rd and Gough-Red Hill Rd, trace the historic routes connecting these scattered Georgia homesteads.
