The county was one of only a handful to vote for Reagan over Carter in 1980, as Carter was beating Reagan statewide 55%-40%.

That was an urban-rural thing. Historically, Republicans in Georgia, such as they were, won support from the Atlanta metro while Democrats won everything else. The 1980 vote reflects that more than anything; many or even most Carter counties were more "conservative".

Only in the Atlanta area do you get neighborhoods that look like the below that are 80% black. Atlanta is weird and sprawly.

Prince Georges'?

Not quite as much. PG County isn't designed in the same "neighborhood with only one road in and out" design that is so characteristic of contemporary sprawl. But you're right, too.
