2011 Map of Reno

About this map

Reno and its surrounding countryside in Grady County are defined by a network of creeks and small family cemeteries that testify to the area's deep-rooted agricultural lineage. Tributaries like Tired Creek and Sofkee Creek weave through the landscape, dictating the placement of early settlements and road crossings. Small community hubs including Nickleville, Orange Springs, and Providence are scattered across the quadrangle, often anchored by historic burial grounds. Genealogists will find a wealth of data points here, as the landscape is dotted with sites like Walden Cemetery, Sasser Cemetery, and Saint Luke Cemetery. The southern reaches are marked by more modern water management features such as Gainey Lake Dam and Harold Lake Dam, which contrast with the older rural patterns of Magnolia and the strangely named Princes Still. This landscape reflects a late 20th-century transition, where traditional farming homesteads remain central to the geography of southern Georgia.
