1964 Map of Homer

About this map

The Hudson River and its numerous tributaries, including Webb Creek and Carlan Creek, carve a complex network through the rural landscape of Banks County in the mid-1960s. The town of Homer serves as a central hub, flanked by the County Sch and Homer Ch. This survey illustrates a deeply rooted community where local life centers around dispersed settlements like Jewelville and Grove Level, and a dense concentration of neighborhood landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family-linked sites, such as the Wilmot Cem, Thomas Cem, and Holland Cem. The presence of Davis Academy and the Covered Bridge over the river reflects an era of transitioning infrastructure, while the distribution of numerous country churches, including Bethany Ch and New Salem Ch, provides a clear view of the social geography of the Georgia Piedmont during this period.
