About this map

Winder serves as the southern anchor of this 1960s survey, where the town's northern reaches give way to a landscape defined by the Mulberry River and Middle Oconee River. The terrain is marked by a dense network of country roads like Holsenbeck School Road and Rockwell Church Road, reflecting a rural community centered around local institutions. Small centers of life are found at Holsenbeck Sch and several prominent houses of worship, including New Hope Ch and White Plains Ch.

Genealogists may find value in the numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Rose Hill Cem, Dosters Cem, and Gum Springs Cem. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade near Cedar Creek provides a tangible link to former transportation corridors that once bypassed the winding river bends. From the municipal utility of the Winder Reservoir to the agrarian boundaries of Jackson and Barrow Counties, the map preserves the mid-century character of this Georgia Piedmont region.
