1965 Map of Union Point

About this map

Union Point serves as the primary rail and road hub in this mid-1960s survey of eastern Greene County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the North Fork Ogeechee River and South Fork Ogeechee River, where the Piedmont terrain transitions into a complex of small farms and family landmarks. Cultural sites are prominent, ranging from the Wesleyan Campground and Buffalo Lick Mon to numerous country churches like Bethel Ch and Brown Chapel. Educational life is anchored by the Darden-Thomas Sch and Hubert English Sch, while the town of Siloam sits further south along the Georgia Railroad line. The map captures an era of rural Georgia before major interstate development, showing the original footprints of settlements like Jefferson Hall and a network of traditional cemeteries, including the descriptively named Saw Dust Cem.
