About this map

Cornelia and Baldwin serve as the primary hubs in this north Georgia corridor where the boundaries of Habersham, Banks, and Hall counties converge. The Norfolk Southern railway dictates the alignment of the local settlements, including Alto and Raoul, as it traverses the divide between the Hudson River drainage to the south and the Mud Creek headwaters to the north.

A high density of family and community burial grounds, such as B C Grant Cem, Crossroads Cem, and The Line Cem, suggests a deeply rooted residential pattern in the hills surrounding Chenocetah Mtn. To the northeast, the Chattahoochee National Forest provides a transition from the developing municipal areas near the Habersham County Airport to a more wooded landscape defined by Reservoir Two and Nancy Town Cr. Genealogists will find interest in the numerous named roads like Apple Pie Ridge Rd and Moss Farm Rd, which indicate long-standing family land holdings.
