2014 Map of Massey Hill

About this map

The boundary between Wilkinson Co and Twiggs Co bisects this landscape, where the kaolin industry and small family settlements have long coexisted. The Freeport Kaolin Tailings Pond near Gordon points to the industrial footprint in the northern hills, while the southern terrain is defined by the winding course of Big Sandy Cr and Myricks Millpond. This area is particularly dense with genealogical landmarks, featuring more than a dozen burial grounds including Ramah Cem, the Augusta Fountain Cem, and the Branan Vinson Cem. The transportation network relies on rural routes like Fountain Rd and Asbury Church Rd, crossing local waters at landmarks like the H A Fountain Bridge. The map records a rural Georgia landscape where established family names are preserved through numerous cemeteries and isolated settlements like Massey Hill and Clayfields.
