1958 Map of Fort Union

About this map

The Alapaha River winds southward through this late 1950s landscape, eventually joining the Suwannee River along the Hamilton Co Suwannee Co border. This area is characterized by a high density of rural religious and community markers, including New Hope Ch, Friendship Ch, and Olive Branch Ch. The mapping of the Base Line running east-to-west provides a clear surveying anchor for the scattered small settlements and family farms. Local industry and water management are evidenced by the presence of Gohegan Millpond and several water bodies such as Cypress Pond and Eleven Ponds. Genealogists may find the location of the Fort Union Cem and West Lake Cem particularly useful for identifying family sites near the communities of Adams and Allison.
