2014 Map of Hillcrest

About this map

West Point Lake dominates this 2014 survey of the border between Heard and Troup Counties, its branching fingers reaching into the surrounding timberlands and valleys. The map documents a landscape defined by the reservoir, where historic landmarks like Swanson Island and Indian Bend are now surrounded by water. Rural communities such as Owensbyville, Buena Vista, and Five Points sit on the high ground, connected by a network of local roads including Owensbyville RD and the major corridor of Us Highway 27. Numerous cemeteries scattered across the terrain, including Old Mt Olive Cem, New Harmony Cem, and Carser Chapel Cem, provide essential data for genealogists tracing local families. Small settlements and landings like Graysons Landing and Point North serve as focal points for the lakefront community during the early twenty-first century.
