1964 Map of Hilyer

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Atlantic Coast Line railroad cuts through the northeastern corner of this Troup County landscape, connecting the rural communities of Hilyer and Big Springs. This 1964 survey captures a moment when small agricultural hubs and family homesteads still defined the region, as evidenced by the high density of family-named cemeteries such as Talley Cem, McGee Cem, and Sledge Cem. The area is heavily drained by a network of waterways including Mud Creek, Flat Shoal Creek, and Sulphur Creek, which likely supported early local industries such as Smiths Mill. Educational and social life centered around landmarks like the Rosemont Sch and various congregations, including Threats Grove Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch. The presence of the Boy Scout Camp near Rosemont Road further illustrates the era's focus on local community development.
