1948 Map of Hephzibah

About this map

Augusta and its southern environs appear here at a time of post-war military expansion and agricultural tradition. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Camp Gordon Military Reservation, which occupies a significant portion of the western territory, while the Augusta Arsenal and Daniel Field underscore the city's strategic importance during the late 1940s. Beyond the military zones, the map reveals a deeply rooted rural community defined by family-named landmarks and local industry, such as the Albion-Kaolin Chalk Mine near Hephzibah.
