1958 Map of Hinesville

About this map

The Fort Stewart military reservation dominates the northern landscape of this survey, directly bordering the growing community of Hinesville. The town's mid-century expansion is centered around the Bradwell Institute High School, with the Atlantic Coast Line railroad cutting a diagonal path through the wetlands and forests to the southeast. The map reveals a high density of rural religious and community life, marked by numerous country churches such as Taylor Creek Ch, Williams Chapel, and Wilderness Ch, many of which sit alongside family and community burial grounds like Cypress Slash Cem and Bacon Cem. Significant portions of the terrain are identified as named wetlands, including Davis Swamp and Goshen Swamp, where an Artesian Well provides a reliable water source. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade near Allenhurst indicates a shifting industrial landscape as older timber or agricultural lines gave way to modern transit routes.
