About this map

The Ohoopee River winds through the heart of Tattnall County, defining a landscape marked by substantial institutional and public lands. To the southeast, the expansive State Prison complex and its associated Prison Boundary occupy a significant footprint, while the western edge of Reidsville transitions into the recreation grounds of Gordonia Alatamaha State Park. This 1970s era documentation, with 1980s updates, captures a rural corridor where traditional landmarks remain central to the community's geography.

Local history is preserved in a network of family-named cemeteries and rural churches, such as Stanley Cem near Stanleys Store and Mt Moriah Ch in the northwest. The terrain is crisscrossed by several waterways, including Brazells Creek and Watson Creek, which drain the lowlands surrounding the river. Transportation infrastructure like the Reidsville Airport and various unpaved routes, such as the Jeep Trail, reflect the region's mix of municipal development and managed wilderness.
