1944 Map of Limerick

About this map

Camp Stewart Military Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this coastal Georgia region during the mid-1940s, its approximate boundary etched across the terrain just south of the Canoochee River. The area is a complex network of tidal waterways and low-lying islands, including the Isle of Wight and the expansive Dutchman Bay. The economy and transit of the era are defined by the Seaboard Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line, which connect small inland settlements like Limerick and Freedmans Grove to the larger coastal arteries. Numerous artesian wells, labeled as Art Well and Ogeechee Art Well, are scattered throughout the quadrangle, indicating the importance of groundwater for local residences and agriculture. Historical sites like Midway Ch and the settlement of Sunbury along the Medway River provide critical points of interest for those tracing the deep-rooted geography of Liberty and Bryan counties.
