1950 Map of Glennville

About this map

Glennville stands as a central hub of settlement in this post-war survey, surrounded by a landscape of small family mills and country congregations. The southern reach of the quadrangle is dominated by the Altamaha River, where water features like Yankee Reach and Marrowbone Round mark the winding channel. To the east, the Camp Stewart Military Reservation occupies a significant portion of the terrain, its boundary cutting through former agricultural lands. Local life is documented through numerous rural landmarks, including the Dickey Powell Millpond and several schoolhouses like Rye Patch Sch and Ochs Grove School. The network of churches, such as Ebenezer Church and Pigot Branch Church, provides a clear view of the social geography of Tattnall and Long counties during this era of rural transition.
