1950 Map of Glennville

About this map

Glennville serves as the central hub of this 1950 survey, anchored by its distinctive red-tinted street grid and proximity to several localized milling operations. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses and millponds, including Brewton Millpond, Edwards Millpond, and Dickey Powell Millpond, which suggest a heritage of local industry along the Beards Creek drainage. To the east, the Camp Stewart Military Reservation occupies a significant portion of the terrain, while the southern boundary is defined by the winding course of the Altamaha River and its associated lowlands like Back Swamp and Vincent Swamp. Genealogists will find a wealth of community landmarks, from rural schools like Rye Patch Sch and Ochs Grove School to numerous country churches and family-named cemeteries such as Gays of the Bays Cem.
