About this map

The Seaboard Air Line railroad bisects this landscape, serving as a primary corridor through Winder and its southern neighbor Bethlehem. The presence of Fort Yargo State Park and Masseys Lake defines the western terrain, where the headwaters of Marbury Creek begin their course southward. This 1964 field-checked survey reveals a rural Piedmont landscape characterized by family-named roads like Roy Greeson Road and Harry Lokey Rd, which connect numerous rural congregations and resting places, such as Smith Chapel Ch and Rose Hill Cem.

A notable historical landmark is the Covered Bridge spanning the Apalachee River at the junction of the Barrow and Walton county lines. The transition from industrial rail centers to agricultural and forest land is marked by sites like the Sandpit near Bethlehem, the Lookout Tower, and the Winder Airport, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure of Northeast Georgia during the mid-20th century.
