About this map

The Fort Stewart Military Reservation dominates this landscape, showing the integration of local topography into a sprawling 20th-century defense installation. Within its boundaries, the land is defined by complex wetland systems including Boggy Head Bay, Jones Bay, and Savage Creek, which flow toward the southern winding course of the Canoochee River. This 1958 field-checked record, with later 1970s updates, preserves the location of the former Letford settlement and several community landmarks that existed prior to or alongside the military's use of the land.

Evidence of earlier transport and social centers appears through an Old Railroad Grade and scattered rural institutions like Beulah Ch, Cypress Bay Ch, and the Corinth Cem. The terrain features isolated high ground such as Hilliard Island, surrounded by the dense hydrology of the Georgia coastal plain. The map provides a detailed view of the Bryan and Liberty County line as it intersects the military reservation boundary southeast of Pembroke.
