1964 Map of Baldwin

About this map

Baldwin and Alto sit atop the ridge line where the Southern railroad traverses the border of Habersham, Banks, and Hall counties. This mid-1960s landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Hudson River, with numerous small community centers anchored by rural churches such as Mud Creek Church, Liberty Hill Church, and Rock Springs Church. The Presence of the State Industrial Institute near Alto provides a significant institutional landmark amidst the scattered farmsteads and family burial grounds like Mud Creek Cemetery and Jordan Cemetery.
