1957 Map of Avondale

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Fort Gordon Military Reservation dominates the central landscape of this 1957 survey, illustrating a massive transition from rural land use to military infrastructure across the borders of Richmond, McDuffie, and Columbia counties. The map preserves the specific locations of several rural congregational sites and family burial grounds, such as Silver Run Ch, Woodland Ch, and Arrington Cem, many of which sit within or on the margins of the federal installation. The drainage of Brier Creek and its many tributaries, including Hard Fortune Creek and Boggy Gut Creek, create a complex network of wetlands and ponds. Notable water features like George Claussen Pond and the Nortons Millrace point to earlier agricultural and light industrial uses of these riparian corridors before mid-century changes. The presence of the County Line Monument underscores the precise surveying required where four distinct counties converge.
