2017 Map of Union Point

About this map

Union Point serves as a significant crossroads in northeastern Greene County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Ogeechee River system. The town's historical development is closely tied to the Railroad Pond and the network of rail lines that once anchored the local economy. Moving south toward the smaller settlements of Siloam and White Plains, the map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Saw Dust Cem and Hugh Moore King Cem. The terrain is drained by the N Fork Ogeechee River and S Fork Ogeechee River, which snake through the region alongside numerous smaller bodies of water like Credille Lake and George Lake. This layout demonstrates how rural land use and community centers remained oriented around traditional watercourses and transit corridors into the early 21st century.
