From I-85, exit 206, proceed 3 miles east on H158. Turn left (north) for two miles on H158 to Dabney. Railroad tracks shown on topos are no longer in existence. Turn right onto 1304 and off to the left find the Harris Chapel United Methodist Church, which rests on one the high areas. Circling the church is the best you can do.

Across the street to the south is the second area upon which sits an older house. Next door is a garage with a plethora of dead cars. The build-ups between the house and the roadbed may be the highest areas.

About 100 yards to the east is a stately white house sitting on top of the third high area. This would appear to be the highest point in the county. An elderly man and a young boy graciously allowed me to explore their property but I could not isolate any point higher than the ground on which the house rested.
