About this map

The Mulberry River winds through the rolling landscape of the Piedmont, serving as a natural boundary between several counties. In the mid-1960s, this region was defined by its transition from a mill-based river economy to a landscape punctuated by small crossroads settlements and developing town centers. A historic Covered Bridge stands near Thompsons Mill, highlighting the area's early industrial and transportation roots along the river's edge.

Further south, the towns of Auburn and Carl are tied together by the Seaboard Air Line railroad, reflecting the rail-driven growth that shaped these communities. The map is particularly rich in genealogical landmarks, documenting numerous country churches such as New Liberty Ch, Sharon Ch, and Bethlehem Ch. Education and community life are further anchored by the County High Sch near Braselton and Hoschton, providing a detailed look at the social geography of the era.
