About this map

The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community where family identity and spiritual life are anchored to the land, evidenced by the Gough Family Cemetery and Smith Family Cemetery. A distinct pattern of social organization is visible through landmarks like the Joan Society Hall and Cemetery and Tucker Grove Society Hall.
