2020 Map of Gough

About this map

Gough and Vidette anchor this agricultural landscape in Burke County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of black-water creeks and family burial grounds. The settlement at Drone sits at a crossroads further east, surrounded by a complex drainage system including Buckhead Cr, Rocky Cr, and Thornton Cr. Genealogists will find a high density of rural cemeteries such as Smith Family Cem, Gough Family Cem, and the uniquely named Joan Society Cem near Webster Rd. This area retains its traditional rural character, with scattered homesteads and family plots like Sheppard Place Cem and White Cem situated among the timberlands and fields. Water features like Hills Pond and numerous small tributaries such as Reubens Br and Lambert Br illustrate the hydraulic patterns of this Georgia coastal plain region.
