1978 Map of Milton South

About this map

Milton and its neighboring riverfront settlements sit at the convergence of the Blackwater River and several expansive bays in this late-twentieth-century study. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional industry and modern expansion, from the historic waterfront of Bagdad to the newer developments at Avalon Beach and Mulat. Significant infrastructure includes the CSX rail line and the sprawling U S Naval Reservation north of Galt City. Local history is preserved through numerous community anchors like Pea Ridge Ch, Wilson Mem Ch, and several burial grounds including Milton Cem and Magnolia Cem. An Abandoned Airfield near the center of the sheet and various Sandpits suggest a changing economic use of the land, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Yellow River Marsh Aquatic Preserve and the tidal waters of Blackwater Bay.
