About this map

Glennville serves as the central hub of this 1950s Georgia landscape, where the agricultural and social life of the rural Tattnall County area is recorded in detail. The settlement patterns reflect a community tied to the land and water, with several impoundments such as Edwards Millpond and Browns Pond dotting the drainages of Beards Creek. Local social landmarks of the era are evident, including the Drive-in Theater and the local amusement spot, Kicks Playland.

The survey also documents the eastern edge of the Fort Stewart Military Reservation along the Tattnall and Long County boundary. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of Surrency Cem, Old Halltown Cem, and several rural congregations like Ella Grove Ch and Zoraigh Ch. Transportation history is marked by the presence of an old railroad grade, indicating shifting commerce patterns as the region's rail-and-river economy evolved.
