1958 Map of Glissons Millpond

About this map

The Fort Stewart Military Reservation dominates this landscape along the border of Evans and Tattnall counties in the late 1950s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Canoochee River and its tributaries, where several small impoundments like Glissons Millpond, Tippins Lake, and Durrence Pond suggest a history of local water management and recreation. For genealogists, the presence of family-named landmarks and resting places like Barnard Cem, Sand Hill Cem, and the Antioch Sch Cem provides vital connections to the rural families who inhabited the area before and during the expansion of military grounds.
