2014 Map of Grovetown

About this map

Grovetown anchors this landscape at a time of significant suburban expansion along the Columbia and Richmond county line. The topography reveals a transition from organized residential developments like Lewiston Downs and Belglade in the north to the sprawling grounds of Fort Gordon in the south. This military installation occupies much of the lower half of the map, characterized by a complex network of training areas, firing ranges, and tactical roads. The land is heavily dissected by waterways such as Butler Creek and Spirit Creek, which feed into numerous small reservoirs and ponds like Maxwell Lake and Whittimore Pond. For the family historian, several small burial sites are preserved amidst the modern street grids, including Beard Young Cem and Newman Cem, serving as quiet reminders of the area's rural agricultural roots before the mid-century growth of the nearby metro area.
