1973 Map of Riddleville

About this map

Riddleville serves as the primary hub of this 1970s rural landscape in southern Washington County, where the topography is defined by the branching tributaries of the Little Ohoopee River and Williamson Swamp Creek. The settlement pattern is deeply connected to local faith and community centers, with numerous country churches such as Henderson Grove Ch, Green Grove Ch, and Mt Mariah Ch spaced across the countryside. The presence of several smaller water features, including Smith-Jordan Pond and Johnsons Pond, alongside the drainage of Tippie Branch and Gully Branch, illustrates the well-watered nature of these coastal plain uplands. A Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark near the town center, while the Washington County Memorial Garden and the small settlement of Tanner anchor the northwestern reaches of the map.
