1958 Map of Glissons Millpond

About this map

Fort Stewart Military Reservation dominates the eastern half of this Georgia landscape, its boundary lines cutting across a topography defined by slow-moving creek systems and family-named water bodies. The presence of Glissons Millpond and Barnard Mill (Big) Branch points to the area's agricultural and industrial heritage, where early residents harnessed local waterways for power. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable sites, including Barnard Cem, Antioch Sch Cem, and the Antioch Sch. Aviation and military use are clearly marked by the Lawrence Airfield, an Airstrip, and the landmark Tower at Camp Oliver. Transport evolution is visible in the southwest, where an Old Railroad Grade remains as a linear scar through the woods, while the Canoochee River winds through the wetlands near the Bryan County line.
