2020 Map of Glissons Millpond

About this map

Barnard Mill and the headwaters of the Canoochee River define the hydraulic character of this corner of Evans and Tattnall Counties. The landscape is dotted with private water bodies and family-named landmarks, such as Tippins Lake, Cavender Lake, and Durrence Pond, reflecting a rural economy tied to small-scale water management and agriculture. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds including Sand Hill Cem, Barnard Cem, and Antioch Cem. The complex jurisdictional boundaries of Southeast Georgia are well-represented here, where the corners of Evans, Tattnall, Liberty, Long, and Bryan Counties converge near the winding courses of Canoochee Cr and Taylors Cr. The road network, including names like Alex Tippins Rd and David Tippins Rd, further illustrates the deep-rooted family history tied to this specific coastal plain terrain.
