1978 Map of Thalmann

About this map

The low-lying pine barrens and wetlands of Glynn County are captured here at the intersection of the Seaboard Coast Line and Southern railroads. The small settlement of Thalmann serves as a central junction, surrounded by an intricate network of named hammocks and islands that rise slightly above the saturated landscape, such as Pepper Hammock, Big Island, and Gibson Island. This 1970s survey reveals a deeply rooted rural community, indicated by numerous family-named cemeteries and landmarks scattered along historical routes like Post Road. The map documents the complex drainage of the area, where the Little Buffalo Swamp and Buffalo Swamp dominate the topography. Local history is preserved through the locations of the Popwellville settlement and several rural houses of worship, including Hopewell Ch and Trinity Ch, alongside smaller work sites like the Claypit and various flowing wells that punctuate the coastal plain.
