About this map

Whitesville and the rural intersections of the Georgia-Alabama border define this mid-century survey along the Chattahoochee River. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of family-named burial grounds and community landmarks, such as Williams Cem, Rivers Cem, and Billingslea Cem, indicating a deeply rooted rural population. Waterways like Big Shoal Creek and Oak Mountain Creek drain toward the river, while Oak Mountain provides a prominent topographic boundary to the south.

Social life in the early 1960s centered on local institutions like Union Springs Ch, Union Ch, and the Johnson Sch. The map also captures several rural settlements such as New Hope and Jones Crossroads, which served as local transit points before the expansion of modern highway systems. The inclusion of the Jackson Recreation Center reflects the evolving land use in the later revisions, contrasting with the established agricultural and religious sites found elsewhere on the sheet.
