1960 Map of Martin

About this map

Martin and Carnesville anchor this 1960 survey of Northeast Georgia, where the Southern railroad line cuts a diagonal path across the landscape through Avalon. The terrain is defined by the drainage network of the North Fork Broad River, which creates a broad valley floor amidst the rising hills of the Piedmont. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by a high density of country churches and schools that served as local social hubs.
