2017 Map of Gough

About this map

Gough and Vidette anchor this Burke County landscape, where the agricultural legacy of the Georgia coastal plain is clearly visible in the network of rural roads and scattered family burial grounds. The area is defined by its drainages, particularly Buckhead Cr and its various tributaries like Turner Br and Reubens Br, which carve gentle patterns through the terrain. A notable concentration of genealogy-rich sites exists here, including the Smith Family Cem, Gough Family Cem, and the uniquely named Joan Society Cem. The small settlement at Drone marks a crossroads near the center of the sheet, while ponds such as Hills Pond and Peel Pond dot the southern half of the quadrangle. This map documents a quiet rural pocket where the original land tracts and family names remain etched into the contemporary geography through road names like George Massey Rd and Floyd Farm Rd.
