1993 Map of Thalmann

About this map

Thalmann serves as a central point in this low-lying landscape where the coastal plains of Glynn, Wayne, and Brantley Counties meet. The area is defined by an intricate network of wetlands, including Little Buffalo Swamp and Pumpkin Swamp, which weave around elevated landforms known as hammocks. These islands of drier ground, such as Pepper Hammock and Du Bignon Hammock, historically provided habitable spaces and agricultural land amidst the surrounding marsh. The map shows several flowing wells and a scattering of small settlements like Popwellville and Jamaica, suggesting a rural economy tied closely to the water table and local timber or farming resources.
