1958 Map of Fort Union

About this map

The confluence of the Alapaha River and the Suwannee River anchor this mid-century look at central Hamilton Co. This landscape is defined by its water and winding riverbanks, where small settlements like Adams, Allison, and Rosemary are connected by a network of unimproved roads and the prominent Base Line surveying track. Local history is preserved in the distribution of rural landmarks, including the Fort Union Cem and several community churches such as New Hope Ch, Friendship Ch, and Rosemary Ch. The presence of Gohegan Millpond and scattered basins like Eleven Ponds and Cypress Pond reflect the hydraulic character of this Florida timber and agricultural region before extensive modern development altered the drainage patterns and secondary roads.
