1958 Map of Glennville

About this map

Glennville serves as the central hub of this South Georgia landscape, where the town's grid expands outward into a network of small settlements and agricultural ponds. The influence of the Fort Stewart Military Reservation is felt along the eastern edge, where the Tattnall Co and Long Co line follows the meandering course of Beards Creek. This mid-century survey reveals a rural economy still tied to local milling and forestry, evidenced by features like Edwards Millpond and Dickey Poppell Millpond. Small rural communities like Mendes and Lynn anchor the northwestern reaches, while spiritual life is documented through scattered country churches including Ella Grove Ch and Zaraigh Ch. Of particular interest to genealogists are the historical burial grounds such as Old Halltown Cem and Surrency Cem, which provide clues to early family settlement patterns in this part of Tattnall County.
