The Greene County Georgia map covers a county where historic railroad and farming towns share the landscape with rapidly growing Lake Oconee communities. Greensboro serves as the county seat, while Union Point, Siloam, White Plains, and Woodville represent smaller eastern and southern population centers.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 21,367 residents on July 1, 2025. Population growth has been concentrated largely around Lake Oconee, where residential, resort, golf, retail, and service development differs sharply from the county’s rural interior.
Table of Contents
County Formation and Early Greensboro
Georgia created Greene County from western Washington County in 1786 and named it for Revolutionary War general Nathanael Greene. Greensboro was selected as the county seat and later incorporated in 1803.
The historic center contains the county courthouse, the Old Greene County Gaol, churches, commercial buildings, and residential districts representing more than two centuries of local development.
Map Coverage and File Options
This Greene County Georgia map set contains color, black-and-white, and outline A3 JPG files. The labeled versions support county reference, while the outline version provides room for custom lake, transportation, history, or land-use information.
Greensboro, Union Point, Siloam, White Plains, and Woodville are incorporated cities. No finished source image accompanied the request, so the article does not claim that all city and lake-community names appear on every version.
Lake Oconee and a New Economic Center
Lake Oconee occupies a large part of western and southern Greene County. Reservoir development introduced shoreline neighborhoods, golf communities, hotels, marinas, restaurants, and visitor services to an area historically dominated by farms and timberland.
The lake economy has increased population and property development, but its growth is uneven. Rural land and small communities remain common only a short distance from high-value waterfront areas.
Union Point and the Railroad Network
Union Point developed where rail lines connected routes toward Atlanta, Augusta, Athens, and Macon. Freight, passenger service, cotton, and local trade once made it an important eastern Greene County center.
As railroad employment declined, the city lost part of its earlier economic base. It remains a municipal center for the eastern county and preserves buildings and street patterns linked to the railroad era.
Siloam, White Plains, Woodville, and Rural Settlement
- Siloam lies near Interstate 20 in eastern Greene County.
- White Plains serves a farming area in the southeast.
- Woodville is a small northeastern railroad and agricultural city.
- Greensboro combines historic government functions with access to Lake Oconee growth.
These towns remain small and retain a stronger agricultural identity than the lake communities. Churches, schools, farms, timberland, and local roads continue to organize settlement across much of the county.
Scull Shoals and Early Industry
Scull Shoals used water power from the Oconee River for mills and manufacturing. The community is associated with one of Georgia’s earliest paper mills and later textile activity.
Ruins and archaeological remains show how water power supported early industrial development before railroads and highways changed the county’s economic geography.
