2011 Map of Union Point

About this map

Union Point and Siloam anchor this portion of Greene County, Georgia, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of two major river forks. The North Fork Ogeechee River and South Fork Ogeechee River converge in this area, creating a network of creeks and ponds including Railroad Pond and Edmonds Lake. This 2011 survey reveals a territory dense with family and community history, evidenced by nearly twenty named burial grounds such as the Saw Dust Cemetery, Wisteria Cemetery, and King-Perkins Cemetery. The presence of the Siloam Quarry and the Union Point Post Office highlights the local industry and civic centers that supported these small towns. Notable landmarks like the Wesleyan Campground and Jefferson Hall suggest long-standing social and religious gathering points for the rural population.
