About this map

Center Hill Lake dominates the central topography of this DeKalb County survey, its complex, winding shoreline carving into a landscape of prominent ridges and deep hollows. The settlement at Silver Point sits near the intersection of modern transit corridors, while older community centers like Cherry Hill and Williams Crossroads remain anchored to the high ground. The terrain is characterized by long, narrow landforms such as Vickers Ridge and Whitefield Ridge, which forced the local road network into a series of ridge-top paths and winding valley descents.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds and country churches preserved here, including Walker's Chapel Church Cem, League Chapel Cem, and Pedigo Cem. To the south, The Narrows and Davies Island mark the intricate water-carved geography where the Caney Fork and its tributaries like Dry Fork and Mine Lick Creek meet the reservoir. The map also records the boundary lines where Putnam, DeKalb, and White counties converge, illustrating how the natural drainage of the plateau historically defined political borders.
