About this map

Walthourville serves as a focal point in the southeast corner of this coastal plain landscape, situated along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. The map illustrates a rural Georgia community defined by its watercourses and small settlements, including Elim and Gum Branch. Extensive military activity is evident to the north within the Fort Stewart Military Reservation, where the terrain transitions from managed forest to established military grounds.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of rural landmarks, such as Wells Cem, Popples Cem, and Barrett Cem. The map records numerous community churches, from St Lukes Ch to Monticello Ch, which anchored these scattered homesteads. Significant hydrologic features like Terrells Millpond (Ways Millpond) and Horse Creek dictate the local geography, while relic transportation routes are preserved as an Old RR Grade.
