1958 Map of Letford

About this map

Fort Stewart Military Reservation dominates this Georgia landscape, its boundary cutting through a complex network of bays and wetlands. The terrain is defined by low-lying basins like Boggy Head Bay, Jones Bay, and Alligator Bay, which drain toward the Canoochee River in the southwest. For local historians, the sheet identifies significant vanished landmarks, most notably the Letford (Site) and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the area's earlier industrial or transit patterns before the expansion of the military facility. Scattered evidence of earlier community life remains in the form of Beulah Ch, Little Creek Cem, and Corinth Cem. The presence of Hilliard Island amidst the boggy terrain illustrates the intricate hydrology of the Bryan and Liberty County border region during the late 1950s.
