About this map

Glennville serves as the central hub of this South Georgia landscape, situated at a crossroads of agriculture and hydrology in Tattnall County. The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways and ponds, such as Kicklighters Pond and Stricklands Pond, which feed into major drainages like Beards Creek and Watermelon Creek. These water sources historically supported local industry, evidenced by features like Brewton Millpond and Edwards Millpond. Rural life is anchored by smaller communities including Mendes and Lynn, while the presence of the Glennville Post Office indicates the town's role as a regional service center.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial sites, notably Surrency Cemetery, the Old Halltown Cemetery, and the Bradley - Anderson Cemetery. The map also details numerous traditional crossings, including Pigeon Ford, Flat Ford Bridge, and Halls Bridge, which illustrate the long-standing transportation patterns used to navigate the bay and swamp environments of Delbos Bay and Brickyard Branch.
