About this map

The waters of West Point Lake dominate this 2017 landscape, straddling the state line where Troup Co, Georgia, meets Chambers Co, Alabama. This modern topographic record captures the area's transition from a river-and-mill economy to a recreational and residential one, as the flooding of the Chattahoochee River basin created complex shorelines around former high ground. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites preserved in the record, including the Garrett Family Cem, Whatley Cem, and Harmony Cem.

Historically significant crossings and landmarks remain identifiable despite the changing landscape, such as the site of McCosh Mill near the northern boundary and the Glass Bridge to the south. Small communities like Abbottsford, Antioch, and Pyne anchor the Georgia side, while Evansville and Standing Rock appear in the Alabama hills. These settlements are connected by a network of rural roads such as Roanoke Rd and State Line Rd, which trace the high ridges above the fingers of the reservoir.
