1971 Map of Baldwinville

About this map

Baldwinville and its surrounding rural landscapes in Talbot Co and Taylor Co are defined by a network of small, crossroads settlements and country churches. The map illustrates a social geography centered on places like Po Biddy Crossroads and Poplar Crossroads, where local life branched out along the Po Biddy Road. The terrain is characterized by the drainages of Potters Creek, Richland Creek, and Kimbrough Creek, which create a rolling backdrop for the region's agricultural and spiritual foundations. Notable religious sites like Mt Zion Ch, Fine Level Ch, and Philadelphia Ch are scattered across the landscape, often paired with small family or community burial grounds such as Adams Cem. The presence of the Jumpin J Airfield near Centerville adds a unique mid-century utility to this otherwise traditional Georgia backcountry.
