About this map

The Silver Point Post Office serves as the primary settlement hub in this part of DeKalb County, situated where high ridges meet the sprawling reaches of Cedar Hill Lake. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with prominent features like Harris Bluff and Vickers Ridge overlooking the water. This topography has shaped local recreation and industry, evidenced by the presence of Camp Tifha, Camp Relax, and the Cookeville Dock near The Narrows.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant family-named landmarks and burial sites throughout the area, including Judd Cemetery and Nash Cemetery. The intricate drainage system of Little Indian Creek, Mine Lick Creek, and Dry Creek carved the valleys before the valley floor was transformed by the lake. This 2010 survey also highlights the isolation of Davies Island, a notable landform created by the fluctuating water levels of the reservoir.
