1955 Map of Reynoldsville

About this map

Sealy Plantation and the surrounding river bottomlands dominate this mid-century survey of the Georgia-Florida borderlands during the filling of the Jim Woodruff Reservoir. The landscape is in a state of transition as the waters of Lake Seminole and the Flint River begin to reshape the terrain. Longstanding community hubs like the Spring Creek Courthouse and FDR Sch serve the rural residents of Reynoldsville and Fairchild, while the Bainbridge Air Base Landing Field indicates a strategic military presence near the county line. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks, including Thursby Cem, Cloud Cem, and Randolph Cem, situated among the complex network of ponds and drains like Fishpond Drain and Buffalo Pond that define this lowland region.
