About this map

The Seaboard System Railroad cuts diagonally through the rural landscape of Troup County, anchoring the small settlements of Cannonville and Gray Hill. This mid-century survey captures a network of family-centered landmarks, where country roads like Old West Point Road and Gabbettville Road connect numerous small congregations and cemeteries.

Genealogists can trace local history through a high density of rural churches, including Macedonia Ch, New Harmony Ch, and Mt Zion Ch, often located near family burial grounds such as the Fannin Cem and Linebarker Cem. The topography is defined by the drainage of Cane Creek and Long Creek around local heights like Hutchinson Mtn, while signs of later 20th-century development appear in the purple-hued updates of Interchange 2 and a nearby dragstrip.
