1958 Map of Walthourville

About this map

Walthourville and the surrounding piney lowlands of the Georgia coastal plain are dominated by the extensive Fort Stewart Military Reservation, which occupies the northern and eastern portions of this late-1950s survey. The landscape is a network of slow-moving waterways including Horse Creek, Tennessee Branch, and Zorn Island Branch, all draining toward the large Terrells Millpond. The settlement pattern follows the Atlantic Coast Line railroad in the south and the small community of Gum Branch in the northwest, linked by a series of rural churches and cemeteries that mark the area's social geography.
