About this map

Fort Gordon Military Reservation dominates the central landscape of this Richmond County region, illustrating the massive post-war military footprint near Augusta. The transition from rural agrarian life to mid-century industrialization is visible in the cluster of mills and ponds like Richmond Factory Pond and Hancock Millpond along Spirit Creek. To the north, the urban expansion of Augusta reaches toward Daniel Field and Country Club Hills, while the southern reaches remain dotted with small family burial grounds and country congregations.
