1970 Map of Ohoopee

About this map

The Ohoopee River defines the landscape of this South Georgia corridor, weaving through the boundary between Toombs and Tattnall counties. The settlement of Ohoopee serves as a focal point where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts across the coastal plain. This 1970 field-checked survey documents a rural society organized around family landmarks and local congregations, with a high density of named burial grounds including Saturday Cem, Mt Zion Cems, and Findley Cem. Tributaries like Brazells Creek and Pendleton Creek feed into the main river system, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local land use. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for locating dispersed rural landmarks such as Oakey Grove Ch and Little Flock Ch, many of which sit near the winding secondary roads that connect these isolated agricultural communities.
