About this map

Camp Stewart dominates the central landscape of this mid-1940s survey, illustrating the rapid wartime transformation of Liberty County. The installation includes the Camp Stewart Army Airfield and a sprawling grid of military infrastructure, bordered by the Military Reservation Boundary. Surrounding this military hub, the traditional agricultural and community patterns of coastal Georgia remain visible through numerous rural institutions like Bethel Sch, New Jerusalem Ch, and the Liberty Campmeeting Ground.

Transport and drainage networks define the region's character, with the Atlantic Coast Line railroad serving stations such as Walthourville Sta and McIntosh. The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands, including Goshen Swamp and Captain Fleming Swamp, which feed into the Canoochee River. An interesting relic of former land use is noted at Ways Millpond (Dry), while old river crossings like Shepard Ford mark traditional routes across Taylors Creek.
