About this map

The Ohoopee River meanders southward through the heart of this landscape, marking the natural boundary between Toombs and Tatnall counties. The settlement of Ohoopee sits at a junction of rail and road, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts across the coastal plain. This 1970 survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local geography, with numerous family and church-affiliated landmarks scattered throughout the terrain.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous small burial sites and houses of worship, such as Mt Zion Cems, Findley Cem, and Pine Grove Ch. The drainage patterns are defined by several tributaries feeding the main river system, including Pendleton Creek and Brazells Creek. The distribution of these features reflects the agricultural and rural character of this Georgia region during the early 1970s.
