About this map

Buffalo Creek and its many tributaries, including Pinkston Creek and Sandy Run Creek, carve through this rural landscape in Washington County, Georgia. The 2011 survey reveals a settlement pattern deeply rooted in family landholdings and denominational heritage, centered around the community of Zebulon. A remarkable density of burial sites is documented here, ranging from large churchyards like the Browns Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Cemetery and Mount Hope Church Cemetery to small, private plots such as the Lunsford-Wall-Sisson Family Cemetery and the Garland Family Cemetery.

Transportation in the region relies on a network of established local routes, including Linton Rd and Barnes Rd, which connect the scattered farms and homesteads. The map illustrates how these roads navigate the drainage basins of Keg Creek and Little Buffalo Creek, highlighting the enduring connection between the area's geography and its agricultural development. Local landmarks such as the Zebulon Methodist Church Cemetery and Nazareth Church Cemetery serve as primary points of orientation for researchers and genealogists tracing this portion of the Georgia interior.
