1964 Map of Winder South

About this map

Winder and its southern surroundings are defined by the convergence of the Seaboard Railroad and several historic transportation corridors, including the noted Old Railroad Grade and Argonne Road. The landscape features the expansive waters of Masseys Lake and Marbury Creek within Fort Yargo State Park, providing a distinct geographic anchor west of the city. To the south, the terrain becomes a patchwork of small communities like Bethlehem and Gratis, where family legacy is preserved through numerous rural landmarks such as Smith Chapel Cem and Hebron Ch. This mid-century survey also documents the industrial and civic infrastructure of the era, from the Winder Airport and Radio Tower (WIMO) to the Glenwood High Sch. The map records the county lines where Barrow, Walton, and Oconee counties meet along the Apalachee River.
