2024 Map of Washington

About this map

Saint Catherine Creek winds through the hills of Adams County, anchoring a landscape where older family-named settlements like Foster and Selma meet the modern outskirts of Natchez. The area is characterized by an exceptionally dense concentration of burial grounds, providing significant data for genealogical research. Named sites range from the Pine Hill Memorial Park to smaller, family-associated plots such as the Foster Mound Cem, Ferguson-Foster Cem, and Winston Cem. This 2024 survey documents the complex interface between rural land divisions and expanding residential developments like Morgantown. Along the southern reaches, the terrain transitions toward Second Creek, where legacy landmarks like the Dunbarton Cem and Roseland Cem remain as physical markers of the region's long-established communities and plantations.
