HistoricMapWorks.com has a feature that allows you to overlay historic maps onto Google Maps. Below is a map of 1913 landowners laid over Hobart and its southern adjoining lands. The star is where Babbs Switch school was located. Although it is difficult to read at this size, in the bottom of the map are two plots of land owned by Edith Babcock—namesake of Babbs Switch. Just to the east and south of the school is the land owned by the Christian family. The Christians donated the land on which the school was built, and the school was first referred to as "Christian School" before adopting the Babbs Switch moniker.
