About this map

The rolling Troup County landscape east of LaGrange is defined by a network of small family cemeteries and historic crossroads. Small settlements such as Louise, Whitfield, and Knott are scattered across the terrain, connected by rural routes like Hogansville Rd and Greenville Rd. The eastern portion of the map is anchored by the community of Mountville, located where the road meets the intersection of College St and Chipley Mountville Rd.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with Long-Cane Creek, Beech Creek, and Shoal Creek carving through the countryside, feeding into numerous local ponds and reservoirs like Newberry Lake and Ridley Lake. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for identifying rural burial grounds such as Old Shiloh Cem, Traylor Johnson Cem, and Newsom Cem. The religious life of these communities is represented by landmarks including Union Chapel United Methodist Church and the New Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church.
