About this map

The community of Whitesville sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along Whitesville Rd where the rural geography transitions between the Troup and Harris county lines. This area is characterized by a high density of family and congregational burial grounds, such as the Whitesville Methodist Episcopal Church South Cem, Billingslea Cem, and Hutchinson Cem, which serve as significant markers for genealogists tracing local lineage.

A network of creeks, including Sand Creek, House Creek, and Mountain Oak Creek, carves through the terrain, dictating the placement of early settlements and road crossings like Jones Crossroads. The western edge is defined by the Chattahoochee River and Johnson Island, highlighting the importance of the river corridor to the regional settlement pattern. The map documents the enduring rural character of the area, where historical sites like Shady Grove Church Cem remain prominent landmarks in the contemporary landscape.
