About this map

Fort Stewart occupies the central and southern expanse of this landscape, where the wooded lowlands are drained by Clyde Creek and Malden Branch. To the north, the community of Ellabell sits near the headwaters of Little Creek and Gartrell Lake. The terrain is defined by its proximity to the Ogeechee River, which forms a significant county boundary on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Rural roads like Pine Barren Rd and Pine Barren Loop cut through the dense vegetation, connecting isolated homesteads and landings such as Shuman Lndg. Evidence of earlier settlement remains in the form of Clyde Cem and Wise Cem, providing valuable points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying the families who lived along the river and creek bottoms before the establishment of the military reservation.
