About this map

Whitesville serves as a central hub in this rural landscape, situated near the foothills of Oak Mountain. The terrain is deeply carved by several significant waterways, including the winding Chattahoochee River which forms the western boundary between Georgia and Alabama. Local life in the mid-1960s is anchored by dispersed rural landmarks such as Jones Crossroads and a network of community institutions like Union Ch and the Johnson Sch.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named burial sites across the Harris County and Troup County line, including Billingslea Cem, Hutchinson Cem, and New Hope Cem. The presence of the Jackson Recreation Center and Pine Lake suggests a developing recreational character alongside the traditional agricultural fields and timberlands that dominate the landscape between Flat Shoal Creek and Oak Mountain Creek.
