About this map

Fort Stewart encompasses the central and southern portions of this landscape, where the meandering course of the Canoochee River creates a network of wetlands and distinctive terrain features. The river is flanked by named landmarks such as Clifton Bluff, Edwards Rocks, and Simmons Point, reflecting a topography deeply influenced by the waterway's path through the Georgia coastal plain. This modern survey illustrates the boundary where military land meets local settlements, including the outskirts of Pembroke in the northeast and the community of Willie to the south.

Family history and local heritage are preserved in numerous small burial grounds dispersed throughout the area. Researchers can identify Jerusalem Cem, Moody Cem, Salem Cem, Elarbee Cem, and Strum Bay Cem. These sites, along with rural routes like Moody Bridge Rd and Otter Hole Branch Rd, provide a framework for understanding the early settlement patterns that preceded and survived the establishment of the military reservation.
