1963 Map of Heidelberg

About this map

Heidelberg and its surrounding communities in Jasper Co and Clarke Co are defined by the winding paths of Bogue Homo and Shubuta Creek. The landscape in the early 1960s was a patchwork of small settlements connected by the Southern railroad, including Barnett, Vossburg, and Stafford Springs. This map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the numerous rural churches like Salem Missionary Ch and John the Baptist Ch, and several family-named burial grounds including Vossburg Cem.
