2017 Map of Hillcrest

About this map

West Point Lake dominates the central landscape of this western Georgia region, its flooded fingers stretching into numerous creek valleys including Brush Cr and Fromby Cr. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Old Mount Olive Cem, New Harmony Cem, and Philpot Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. Small settlements like Owensbyville and Hillcrest are connected by a network of winding roads like Mooty Bridge Rd and New Franklin Rd. The presence of landmarks like Moody Bridge and Swanson Island underscores the transformation of the terrain by the impounded Chattahoochee River. This layout illustrates a modern rural landscape where traditional settlement patterns and older family landmarks persist alongside contemporary recreational waters.
