1950 Map of Limerick

About this map

The Ogeechee River and Medway River define this coastal Georgia landscape, where the tides of the Buttermilk Sound meet established inland settlements. In the post-war years, the area shows a distinct transition between the expanding Camp Stewart Military Reservation to the north and the historic educational and religious hubs of Midway and Dorchester to the south. The map provides significant genealogical value, documenting numerous segregated educational facilities such as the George Washington Carver School and the Dorchester Academy, alongside rural congregations like Ebenezer Church and St Paul Ch.
