About this map

West Point Lake dominates this borderland landscape, where the waters of the Chattahoochee River are held by the West Point Dam. This reservoir has reshaped the geography of both Alabama and Georgia, creating a complex shoreline that surrounds Hairston Island and supports local recreation at Burnt Village Marina. To the south, the industrial and civic core of West Point and North West Point sit just below the dam, marking a significant transition from the expansive lake to the traditional river channel.

Genealogists and local historians will find several established burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Long Cane Cemetery, Forty-Tyler Cemetery, and Lovelace Cemetery. The map also captures several smaller water bodies such as Simmons Lake and Lanier Lake, along with older settlement points like Gabbettville and Old Atkinson Crossing. These labels, combined with the winding paths of Hardley Creek and Oseligee Creek, provide a detailed look at the rural and municipal development at this state-line junction.
