2020 Map of Painter

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates the landscape of this DeKalb County survey, where a network of country roads connects high-plateau settlements like Painter, Crossville, and Kilpatrick. The land is deeply etched by a complex drainage system including Whippoorwill Cr, Scarham Cr, and Little Shoal Cr. This 2020 map documents the persistent rural character of the region, where numerous church-affiliated cemeteries such as New Canaan Church Cem and Liberty Church Cem serve as vital genealogical anchors for local families. The presence of several bridge crossings, such as Garvin Bridge and Green Ford Bridge, highlights the importance of traditional water-crossing points in the local transportation network. Small communities like Lathamville and Whiton remain distinct nodes within the larger agricultural and residential framework of the Sand Mountain area.
