2014 Map of Whitesville

About this map

Whitesville and the surrounding rural communities of New Hope and Shady Grove define this portion of the Georgia-Alabama borderlands. Located primarily within Harris County, the landscape is marked by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Billingslea Cem, Hutchinson Cem, and Rivers Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of waterways such as Mountain Oak Cr and Sand Cr, with Flat Shoals Bridge crossing the waters near the Troup County line. The map captures the area just as modern infrastructure like Ga-219 and Interstate 85 began to further connect these historically agricultural settlements. Notable local landmarks like Pine Lake and Callaway Enterprises Lake punctuate the wooded hillsides, illustrating the local water resources that have shaped settlement patterns from Jones Crossroads down to the Alabama state line.
