2024 Map of Perote

About this map

Perote and Blues Old Stand anchor this portion of Bullock County, where the upper reaches of the Pea River and Big Sandy Creek carve through the landscape. The settlement pattern here is deeply rooted in local genealogy, evidenced by a high density of family-named burial grounds like Old Sellers Cem, Cope Hoffman Cem, and Rogers Cem. This rural network is defined by its small crossroads communities, including Smuteye, Jamback, and Tanyard, which are connected by a web of county roads such as Bullock Co 14 and Smuteye Rd. The presence of the New Union Grove Baptist Cem suggests a long-standing community center in the northeastern quadrant. Modern surveying reveals how these historic land divisions, marked by township and range lines like t11n r23e, persist alongside the natural drainage of Double Creek.
