1965 Map of Union Point

About this map

Union Point serves as a central hub on this mid-1960s survey, situated where the Georgia railroad line meets several state highways including Georgia 77 and Georgia 44. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the North Fork Ogeechee River and South Fork Ogeechee River, which carve through the wooded terrain of Greene and Taliaferro counties. Local religious and educational life is well-documented, from the Wesleyan Campground and Jefferson Hall in the north to the Hubert English School further south near Siloam. Genealogists may find particular value in the scattered rural cemeteries and family-named landmarks like the Darden-Thomas School and Darden-Thomas Cemetery. Significant water features such as Dolvin Lake, Crumpton Lake, and Railroad Pond are noted alongside historical markers like the Buffalo Lick Monument.
