About this map

The Seaboard Air Line railroad anchors the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, connecting the towns of Auburn and Carl. This corridor reflects a transition from traditional rural industries to mid-century development, evidenced by the proximity of the Landing Strip and various electrical substations near the rail line. To the north, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Mulberry River and its numerous tributaries, including Duncan Creek and Thompsons Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the network of country churches that dotted the countryside, such as Mt Moriah Ch, Apalachee Ch, and Sharon Ch. A notable landmark of local heritage is the Covered Bridge spanning the river near Thompsons Mill. The map also captures the intricate boundary lines between Gwinnett, Jackson, and Barrow counties, illustrating how these administrative divisions follow natural features like Rock Creek and the river's path.
