1958 Map of Claxton
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Claxton and its neighboring communities of Hagan and Bellville define the populated center of this late 1950s landscape, situated along the Seaboard Line railroad. The regional importance of the timber industry is evident through the presence of the Evans County Forestry Unit, a prominent Lookout Tower, and local Sawmill operations. The social fabric of the era is marked by institutions like the Evans County High School and several rural churches, including Sikes Chapel and Zion Hill Ch. Beyond the towns, the terrain is characterized by a high density of private and community ponds, such as Shuman Pond and Perrys Pond, which dot the drainages of the Canoochee River. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named burial grounds like Eason Cem and Hodges Cem.
