About this map

Fort Stewart dominates this landscape in Liberty County, showcasing a terrain defined by the heavy presence of the military alongside deep South Georgia wetlands. The land is intricately partitioned by water, from the winding Canoochee Creek to the expansive Sandy Swamp and Strum Bay. This survey captures a transitional moment for the region, where remnants of earlier rural life, such as the Todd-Ray Cem and Taylors Creek Cem, sit within the expansive Fort Stewart Military Reservation.

Transportation patterns reflect both older infrastructure and modern military utility, featuring an Old Railroad Grade and a Landing Strip. The network of smaller watercourses like Gum Branch, Horse Creek, and Mill Creek suggests the original agricultural and timber drainage patterns that existed before the area's conversion to a military training site. This map provides critical spatial context for researchers tracing the history of displaced settlements and the expansion of federal land holdings in the mid-20th century.
