About this map

The Southern railroad line carves through the rolling hills of northeast Georgia, connecting the rail towns of Baldwin and Alto. This mid-century landscape is defined by its deep spiritual and community roots, evidenced by an exceptional density of country churches and family burial grounds. Notable sites like The Line Ch, Mud Creek Ch, and Mt Sinai Ch are joined by numerous small plots such as Wynn Cem and Woodley Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogical research.

To the east, the Chattahoochee National Forest begins its reach across the ridges, while the Hudson River and its tributaries, including Wolfpen Branch and Little Mud Creek, drain the complex terrain. The map also documents the State Industrial Institute and the rural crossroads of Hollingsworth, situated where the hills overlook the winding Mountain Creek. This survey captures the transition between organized town centers and the wooded foothills of Chenocetah Mtn.
