2011 Map of Baldwin

About this map

Baldwin and Alto sit along the corridor of the Norfolk Southern railroad, marking a landscape defined by small communities and an extensive network of family cemeteries. The terrain is characterized by the headwaters of several drainages, including Mud Creek, Little Mud Creek, and the Hudson River, which flows through the southern portion of the sheet. Numerous small impoundments like Wise Lake and Wynn Lake are scattered throughout the countryside, often associated with local landmarks such as Acreys Bridge. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with burial sites including the Shirley Cemetery, B C Grant Cemetery, and The Line Cemetery. Settlement patterns are concentrated near Wilbanks Corner and Longview, while the Habersham County Airport occupies the northern plateau. The southern reaches near Wilson Shoals show a more rural, river-focused geography away from the primary rail and highway routes.
