1958 Map of Glissons Millpond

About this map

Fort Stewart Military Reservation dominates this 1950s landscape, illustrating a transition from rural Georgia homesteads to expansive military grounds. The map preserves the traces of earlier land use through family-named landmarks like Barnard Cem and Durrence Pond, alongside the educational footprint of Antioch Sch. Water defines the geography, with the Canoochee River and Little Bull Creek flowing through the territory. An Old Railroad Grade and the presence of Camp Oliver signify the industrial and military infrastructure that reshaped Evans and Tattnall counties during the mid-century. Researchers can trace historical property lines and drainage patterns around Glissons Millpond and Tippins Lake, which provided local water resources before the consolidation of the reservation.
