About this map

Collins and Manassas serve as the primary hubs of activity in this Tattnall County landscape, connected by the steady line of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. The map documents a rural Georgia community defined by its numerous family and church burial grounds, including Rodgers Ch Cem, Wilkinson Cem, and the Tippins Cem. These sites, along with localized congregations like Mt Pilgrim Ch and Bethaven Ch, anchor the social fabric of the area.

Hydrological features such as Cedar Creek, Thomas Creek, and Cypress Creek meander through the terrain, with an Old Railroad Grade and a Gaging Station marking earlier infrastructure and land management efforts. The presence of the Tattnall Campground and Baptist Youth Camp suggests the area's long-standing role as a center for regional gathering and spiritual retreats during the late twentieth century.
