About this map

Hinesville serves as the focal point of this coastal plain landscape, situated at the boundary of the Fort Stewart Military Reservation. In the mid-20th century, the area maintained a distinct rural character defined by a network of small settlements and expansive wetlands, including Davis Swamp and Goshen Swamp. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad bisects the terrain, connecting communities like McIntosh, Allenhurst, and Walthourville.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous small country churches and family-named cemeteries, such as Taylor Creek Ch and Cypress Slash Cem. The map documents early infrastructure like the Bradwell Institute High School and a Drive-in Theater, reflecting the town's mid-century expansion. Water management and traditional land use are evident in the presence of several Artesian Wells and Terrells Millpond, also known as Ways Millpond, near the western edge of the survey.
