About this map

Camp Hancock and the U. S. Arsenal dominate the landscape west of Augusta in this survey conducted during the final years of the Great War. The map details a military and industrial corridor transitioning into the rural reaches of Richmond and Burke counties. In the north, the footprint of the war effort is clear near the Base Hospital and Remount Station, while further south, the terrain is defined by historic water-powered sites like the Richmond Factory Pond and Hancock Millpond.

Rural life is anchored by numerous schools and academies, including Evans Academy and Palmer Academy, alongside smaller settlements such as Hephzibah and Blythe. The transportation network is a mix of established rail lines like the Georgia RR and historic thoroughfares such as Tobacco Road and Louisville Road. Notable local landmarks like the Dodge Racetrack near Forrest reflect the social character of the region during the early twentieth century.
