About this map

The Fish River and its numerous tributaries, including Corn Branch and Perone Branch, define the agricultural and timbered landscape of Baldwin County at the end of the 1930s. This survey illustrates a cluster of early 20th-century immigrant and African American communities, notably Yelling Settlement and the town of Silverhill, where Bohemian Hall stands as a cultural marker. The distribution of civic and religious life is visible through institutions like the Universal African Ch, the Friends Meetinghouse, and Belforest Sch.
